Sounds like this could be an optimization. Note that in case you use
siblings, these could be shared between sites. However this may be easy
enough to track. 

I would recommend a full static export only for sites that are running
without an OpenCms system "behind" them. If you have a live OpenCms
available, static export "on demand" is the way to go...
