Just FYI, it's a bit more involved that than since reading the SwikiPage's
text from a file involves executing Smalltalk expressions, etc. So, even if
you purged the templates of their embedded code (or just compiled them
explicitly; right now templates *are* cached and compiled), you still have
that problem.

However, there are several PWSers (myself included) who are working on
alternative mechanisms for both these issues.
