Uhm, what I meant was that instead of using a C tool it uses the scripting
engine's ability for the template back-end. I used Zend to make it clear
that it isn't as-if the whole template is processed each and every time by
PHP which would make it much slower. Just thought it'd make it clearer as
to why it's not terribly slow (opposed to having regex's and friends run
everytime the template is encountered).
