Disk space is so cheap it's not even worth discussing. TT uses more memory than some, in order to achieve better performance. That's a common tradeoff. CPU load -- after the initial compiling of templates you won't notice it unless you have a very well-tuned application. Usually the TT stuff gets lost in the noise of DBI queries and disk access. The bottom line is that CPU is much cheaper than developer time. - Perrin
