This is talking directly to Zope (no Varnish / Squid in front?)  Please
post the PythonScript, too.

Other FS objects may have cached information computed from the file
(e.g., the compiled template bytecode for an FSPageTemplate, or bytecode
for an FSPythonScript).  But there is nothing which reads FSFile data
into memory and holds it.  both its '__str__' and its 'index_html'
reread the file from dist.  However, the object *may* be cached by a
RAMCache or an AcceleratedHTTPCache, if one is configured.

If Globals.DevelopmentMode is enabled, then the call to '_updateFromFS'
in both of those methods ('__str__', 'index_html') removes the object
from the cache on each request.

It caches the result of the method call in the view's instance
dictionary.  Be *sure* to use it only for views:  using it on a content
objecct would be disastrous.
