Maybe noone had an answer. I don't know.

Why does it seem so? I think if caching is disabled the template is
being parsed for every request; so if you are creating Objects in your
Class there will be new ones for every request.

I think there's no thread around there.


I don't know if this did help you, so maybe you understand why you
didn't get many answers. Or it was just me who can't give an exact
answer. Anyway.
