Template rendering speed may not be a problem for many sites, but any improvement in rendering speed would have benefits. One of the GSoC proposals for this year was to look at introducing a 'compiled' template loader -- rendering templates directly into Python bytecode, which has the potential to significantly improve rendering speed. This proposal was made by Alex Gaynor, who ultimately retracted that proposal in favor of his noSQL proposal, I would be very interested in seeing this sort of optimization added to Django, so if anyone is looking for a non-trivial project, dig up Alex's GSoC proposal and see what you can do!
