Things like Smarty are slow in terms of performance alone, yes. The tradeoff is
that the design these solutions allow might make life easier for the
developers.
If your applications are serving ten million requests a day, Smarty is going to
be problematic, but you can still overcome this with some good server-side
caching (for example, is it necessary to dynamically generate a response for
every request if the data isn't very volatile?).
