One thing I always try to avoid is having the template engine buffer everything while processing all the data from start to finish. In most cases a document has a top, left, content and bottom. And in standard conditions the top and left should be sent before the content is processed (which tends to take the longest to process). That way the page appears to load much quicker, than sitting there waiting for the website to respond with content while php is gathering all the html to send.
