To quote John Carmack of id Software, When its done!
Its being worked on right now. If you think you can help, please consider becoming a developer or tester. Send an email to Stuart Children at stuart@terminus.co.uk with a very brief resume and you will be added to the ppstats developers list.
Please refer to our license page - ppstats is licensed under the GNU General Public License. We have tried to use only Open Source solutions in the creating of the program.

We do not recommend deleting or modifying your original proxy log files in any way. Personal Proxy Statistics actually depends on having constant access to your entire history of log files, even after they have been imported into the database. Modifying your log files is not recommended either, because this will certainly have a side effect on how ppstats generates statistics.
The recommended procedure for handling your growing proxy log files is compression. Utilities like gzip do an excellent job of compressing proxy log files to be up to ten times smaller than the original size. Personal Proxy Statistics has built in support for gzip files as well. If you use compression, feel free to gzip all proxy log files except for todays log file, which is still in use by the proxy server itself.
