Got it - so the template "cache" is not really a cache, but an aggregator, on the queries.

I seem to get slowed performance the first time I load a page after modifying it's template - but I guess that must be do to MySQL or OS caching, not vB then, yes?

Too bad there is no "real" caching done, then. I would guess that 90% of the html could go into a cache (ie, is not personalized), and that a cache could get up to a 50% hit rate.

Think about it: Cache the html for forumbit, threadbit, and postbit - everyone's looking at the recent ones - you're talking a major speed up.
