Templates do maybe not need to be that slow (no promises)

[Stefan Koch via Digitalmars-d]

There are more news.
I wrote about manual template in-lining before, which is a fairly 
effective in bringing down the compile-time.

Since templates are of course white-box, the compiler can do this 
automatically for you. Recursive templates will still incur a 
performance hit but the effects will be lessened. If that gets 
implemented.

I am currently extending dmds template-code to support more 
efficient template caching.
