I’ve used the caching, though I didn’t need it globally. For those users or developers who just want to turn it on for a page here is what you need to do:
//turn on/off caching $class_tpl->caching = true;//true or false


//setup caching

$class_tpl->cache_dir = '/path/to/cache';//by default this is already available FILESYSTEM_PATH/cache

$class_tpl->cache_lifetime = 1800; //seconds for cache to be retained (30 min)
//now check if page is already cached

if (!$class_tpl->is_cached('mypage')) {

    //page is not cached, you need to generate its content

   //code here....

}

$class_tpl->display('layout.tpl', 'mypage'); //page generation skipped if is in cache

If running PHP5 you shouldn’t need to CHMOD the cache directory.
