(rereading what I wrote)
Uh, durrr, that came out as hogwash, didn't it. I meant, if the pages that
are created dynamically happen to come out the same as though they had been
served statically (IOW, if it's static content generated dynamically), then
static files are no slower than DB-generated pages.
But like Larry said, if you've got anything complex that's cacheable, like
the results of complex queries or anything like that, then a DBMS is probably
better (certainly easier) at caching that sort of thing efficiently,
especially if the raw data on the disk that it may have to access happens
to be highly fragged.
