The current code does that.

FWIW, we see a significant performance increase when using the C
htmltext extension.  If people have a compiler I recommend building
it.  I guess I'm biased since I wrote the extension.

Perhaps our applications use more templates then average.  One of our
decent sized pages creates 5100 htmltext instances.  I got that number
by incrementing a counter in the request every time htmltext was
instantiated.  Whoa, I found a big page that uses 44923 htmltest objects.
Yikes!
