what do you mean when you say "to many lines of coded that are not
needed for most requests"?

Agree.

I suppose this would come as an end result of implementing your first
suggestion :-)

what advantages would Cache_Lite bring to the caching already
implemented via Smarty? Keep in mind that we don't need with caches
ourselves but it is left up to Smarty to handle those. We just let
smarty know that we want to use caching but that's all... Any changes
to the caching layer should be done to Smarty and that's quite a big
task in itself (and which I don't think we should undertake)
