Thanks for the enlightening post Rob. If template complexity is really to
blame, we need to make a concerted effort to communicate this to the community.
For the past several years the community has been told the opposite: That they
should not worry about template costs or server performance issues. For
example:

"Generally, you should not worry much about little things like templates and
'server load' at a policy level. If they're expensive, we'll either fix it or
restrict it at a technical level; that's our responsibility..." -- Brion
Vibber, 2006

In fact, there's an entire essay on en.wiki: "Wikipedia:Don't worry about
performance"

Clearly this mindset is now outdated. Perhaps you or Brion could post about
this issue on the Wikimedia Blog so that we can start to change this mindset
and get people working on template optimization.
