And the "rating_small" variable in the original poster's case shows why we have to reload the included template each time: it could be a different one on different loops. There are some optimisation possibilities here (e.g. if it's loaded from a string literal), but we need to put in a rendering-reset feature to the template code -- which we need to fix a couple of existing bugs anyway, so it's probably coming soon -- first. That's something somebody might want to look at in the Django 1.2 timeframe as a little side-project.
