Amrita is the ultimate in code/markup separation - The template can be 100% 
valid HTML since there are no special tags. Thus, elegance and code 
readability are its fortes, rather than speed. The speed is probably 
acceptable on a high-end hosted web server, but on my poor personal server it 
takes up to two seconds to serve a page. However, the next generation of 
Amrita is featuring a rewritten template compiler with speed and optimization 
in mind; speed is traded off for some of the flexibility of the old compiler, 
of course, but not losing any of the core functionality that makes Amrita 
brilliant. Therefore, I look forward in eager anticipation to the next 
generation Amrita, and if you're at all interested in templating, you should 
too since Amrita's approach is one of the best I've seen.
