There is a drupal module for this : http://drupal.org/node/49388

I believe this module puts the code just before </body>

Although the module suggestions are the best way to go in an ideal world (easier for a non-developer to switch on and off), if you're finding that your site is running slow then you could just put the Google Analytics code anywhere in your page and disable the module.

The code fragment is only two <script> tags, one of which brings in the Google Analytics library, and one of which sets it all running for your particular Analytics account. It would be quick to hardcode this, and unless your site administrators are turning it on and off on a daily basis for some reason (e.g. testing) quick for a PHP programmer not well versed in Drupal to find and remove when necessary.

I can't find the website at the moment, but I remember reading that the best place to put <script> tags for site performance is just before the end of your page content, so inside the </body> tag as someone said the module does. That way the page appears in the browser before the script is executed, rather than the other way round.
