Rendering views is usually not a bottleneck in any application. 
Even if Smarty is slow, it should still account for a just a fraction of
total request time.
I'm not big on Smarty so normally I wouldn't hold you back,  but I think
your intentions are misplaced. 
Performance is the last thing I would worry about in this case. 
Features and simplicity, that's a different story.
