and the thread preceeding it, there is a suggestion to cache constant
messages having {{SITENAME}} or other invariant content in a way avoiding
the re-interpretation and reparsing them.
While at first sight one would assume that this is done already, increased
load times mentioned in the first post to the thread,
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2009-August/044921.html
suggest that it is not so.
There is another possible advantage of this kind of caching, when messages
are being passed to JavaScripts, they should be taken from the cache, which
means that the JavaScripts do not have to deal with parsing the wikisyntax
of these invariant parts.
