even if i am using an iterator object and call it.next in TT, doesn't TT actually keep the rendered template page into one variable and dump it to the browser? in that case, the memory consumed is still equal to the entire size of the data and iterator doesn't help here. am i right?
You would end up with one copy of the data in memory (in the rendered template) instead of two if you use an iterator. If it's a really large amount of data, you could avoid creating a giant template output variable by breaking it up into multiple chunks and sending them to the client as you go. Template Toolkit may not be the best tool for this part of your application. - Perrin
