+Caching/Reusing templates
+-------------------------
 
-The are two main ways of rendering templates:
+The are two ways of rendering templates:
 
+- manually creating a ``Template`` or ``FileTemplate`` object and calling its method
 - using one of ``render_...`` methods
-- manually creating a ``Template`` object and calling its method
 
-While the first method is simpler, it also compiles the template on every call.
-The second method is more efficient when rendering the same template multiple times, as it allows
-to reuse the compiled template, at the cost of more memory usage.
 
-Both methods can be used interchangeably, as they both return the same result.
-It is up to the user to decide which method is more suitable for a given use case.
+By dafault, the ``render_...`` methods cache the template and reuse it on next calls.
+This speeds up the rendering process, but also uses more memory.
 
-**Generally, the first method will be sufficient for most use cases.**
+If for some reason the caching is not desired, you can disable it by passing ``cache=False`` to
+the ``render_...`` method. This will cause the template to be recreated on every call, which is slower,
+but uses less memory. This might be useful when rendering a large number of different templates that
+might not fit in the memory at the same time or are not used often enough to justify caching them.
 
-It is also worth noting that compiling all used templates using the second method might not be possible,
-depending on the project and board used, due to the limited amount of RAM.

 By default the template engine will escape all HTML-unsafe characters in expressions
 (e.g. ``<`` will be replaced with ``&lt;``).
 
 Content outside expressions is not escaped and is rendered as-is.
