Question Any way to speed up awstats with dns lookups enabled?

[tkalfaoglu]

I had to enable the DNS lookups of a site and re-generate the awstats for that site (lots of IP addresses are meaningless to the customers)..
Of course it takes a very long time to re-generate the stats using the tool at How to recalculate AWStats web-statistics using domain logs for previous months in Plesk
AWSTATS seems to include a lot of features for using MaxMind to speed up the lookups. I wondered if any of them are supported, and/or configurable from the GUI.
I wish they were, because its configuration seems messy - install cpan, install these modules, etc.
