In returns the html string , does it do more than that ? I wouldnt think so then the app can cache that.the bufferedOutput is pretty small and just does ob_start/ob_.... etc. and can be used to get the output of the template. so it can be cached by the application: A typical example would be showing the list of categories on PEAR's web site. (where the first page does a SQL query to fetch data, and render to the screen) - the block of the template could be cached as HTML (although SQL output caching is probably more technically correct). where as the rest of the page may be more dynamic (including extra information if the user is logged in.)
Thats what i assumed.However what is the compiler caching you talking about ?compiler caching is effectively the process of turning the template into a PHP script (which is what flexy and smarty both do).
