Comment (by apedog):

 There's an assumption here - that {{{get_template_directory()}}} should
 return the same value every time it's called by the theme. If so, the
 result can be memoized and re-used. That's a big assumption for a default
 theme that's meant to be extended in a child-theme by users.

 12 calls to 5 hooks that might not all be filtered, and if filtered, will
 likely involve a simple string replacement, is not a lot of performance.''
 - I think.''

 Adding this "cached" result is actually a restriction for the user
 extending the theme.
