I personally write my blog in plain HTML, which is totally static. Moreover, I host it myself, so I don't have any SSD to "speed up" file access, so would you think That (in my case) it'd be better for me to switch to a DB based posting ?

Well, remember, both pages have a function that counts all files in the posts folder, so if you have a ton of files, that can slow it down I guess. That, and blog.php lists every single post, but you could change it to list only the first 20.
