I'm not sure what you mean by "server friendly", but the only way to
know anything about performance is to measure it.  I recommend you get
comfortable with Benchmark.pm and Devel::DProf.  Using these tools you
can find out exactly how long it takes to call new() on your
templates.

But what the heck, here's a couple hints anyway: new() takes much more
time on larger and more complicated templates.  You can reduce this
time to almost nothing using caching and pre-compiling your templates.
