It seems somewhat distressing to me that the PWS works by executing Smalltalk expressions from the Squeaki-Wiki pages, as that means that I could not shrink the compiler out and be able to support it in its current fashion. For other apps., even compiler may be shrunken out also.
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.
