   The "HTMLTemplate" module is good for simple tasks like that.
There are much more elaborate frameworks available, but if all you
need to do is build a table periodically, it's a simple solution.

    This page

    is built with HTMLtemplate.  It changes only every three hours,
and computing it requires a big SQL join, so it's an automatically
updated static page.
