You can slap a caching plugins on wordpress and make 99.99% of requests never hit the database... usually takes you from being able to serve 10 requests per core to a few 100.... (Not as good as static HTML, but I am not sure he needs the million pages per second yet)

Yes sure, by short-term I meant for the next few hours - static html might be an easier option when the server is on fire. Think of it as a poor man's caching :)
