There is no need to do any configuration, but protecting spage.php and trash directory using .htaccess or similar means is recommended.
Editing templates.php and style.css is also something you might want to do.
All pages are created to the same directory where spage.php is, so all pages must have unique name.
Most websites are read often and updated rarely. So it just feels wrong when servers have to do any heavy work just to serve a page for users. If adding a new page eats more resources, who cares? That is not done often anyway, at least in most cases. Why should changing markup be the easiest thing, when that is done like once a year? I believe that letting web servers do what they are good at - serving web pages - is the right thing to do.
Also, taking backups of your whole site is so much easier with plain files. So is transferring to another host. No need to worry about configurations, application support, etc. And when you stop maintaining your site, just copy all files to your local hard drive and you get to save your precious writings.
