I have to admit, that I quite don't understand what you want me to do
here... I already have that numeric id:

If I say:

SELECT count(*), referrer.id FROM hits, referrer WHERE referrer.id =
referrer_id GROUP BY referrer.id ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 10;

it is really fast and I get the IDs of the referrer-urls but how would I
get the URLs then?
