At some point I might try to do it. The main issue is how to deal with
expressions that returns Deferreds. The options are:

1. Render page templates in threads
2. Use stackless
3. Hack the rendering loop so that it can deal with Deferreds correctly.

(2) is coolest, but problematic due to stackless' cross-platform issues. 
(1) is probably slowest option, (3) may be difficult to do, depending on 
how the code is structured.
