Yes, only the template tree structure.

I see at least three solutions:

1. As Manu said, do nothing the template engine is well optimized

2. Parse and create the file on disk when required and let AWS and
   the Web browser deal with that. Remember that a Web browser has
   a cache and will download only new content.

3. Cache the content on your application for each version of the
   template. That is for each template tags set. Could use an MD5
   of the tag values there as the key and store the content into an
   hash table.

Pascal.
