No, there's not even any chance of that, I'm afraid. :)
The reason is that it doesn't really make sense to average the number of
requests in (say) the hour 2am-3am over a long period of time. A couple of
years ago we would get maybe 100 requests in that hour. Now our usage has
grown and we get maybe 300. Except on Sunday mornings when a spider indexes
all our pages and gives us several thousand. If you averaged them together you
would get 500 maybe -- but that 500 wouldn't mean anything.
