You could use an unlogged table for hourly updates, and periodically,
accumulate those counters to a (logged) daily/weekly table...

The hourly table could be rebuilt by examining only 1 hour's worth of
data, so it isn't too much of a problem if it's lost. The other tables
would get much less updates.
