Maybe I'm missing something, but ultimately, isn't this just a re-invention of a site-wide cache?
Back in the day, in Django/Drupal/any CMS, for anonymous users, you'd just dump each page into memcached with a path URL.
Then when a new anonymous visitor comes, you load it right up from – extremely fast – memory. Maybe even faster than loading from the file system? Nginx can actually ask memcached directly, even bypassing the app server.

It feels like we've gone full circle.
