Comment:

 Given the raw numbers show a 0.004270076751709 millisecond improvement in
 performance under ideal conditions (ie, repeatedly requesting the same set
 of templates), I think this ticket can be closed of without a fix.

 Practically there is a very small performance gain but it alters
 `locate_template()` in such a way that it might become a problem at a
 later date.

 Working on another performance ticket recently, I had to deal with
 complexities caused by the use of static variables so adding once here
 without a significant time improvement isn't worth the risk.
