Have you tried the file_cache option?  All it needs is Storable, so it
should work on Windows.  On Linux it's as fast as the shared_cache,
although I don't know much about how fast the Windows file-system is.

Figure out what's actually taking the most time.  You can do that by
using a profiler like Devel::DProf.  Since you're using DBI you can
also use DBI's built-in profiler to examine the performance of your
database queries.

Most likely HTML::Template isn't take a significant amount of time in
your application.  Usually network delays and database calls take much
longer than HTML::Template.
