I tend to think that a CMS should *NOT* serve content straight from the

I agree entirely!
The best (IMHO) architectural solutions for this is to have something like
frontend <--- repository <--- backend
where "frontend" does the presentation stage and can do inverted caching.
This is the approach I am using (and I want to put slide into the space labelled repository).
In fact, this ties in with your point about "bad marketing", I'd like to use
slide as a content "repository" rather than a content "distribution
mechanism". This is why I am raising objections to optimising for
read-speed at the expense of code simplicity and performance of other
"repository" activities.
Amen, brother.
