Umm. From this point of view, it really makes no difference if the cache is
accessed through a static field, or through instance field of a singleton
(which is itself probably also referred by a static field). What REALLY
helps here is to have Velocity classes loaded through the same disposable
class loader used to load your classes - that is, have them in WEB-INF/lib
or WEB-INF/classes.
