That depends on the cache replacement policy you need.  If you're not
tied to LFU then you can just switch to using my MemoryCache product.
(With all the various caveats surrounding it, of course, python 2.2,
patching Zope, etc.)  I designed it so I could work around all those
issues.  Another alternative is to track down exactly why PageTemplate
hands cache managers those dictionaries, I'm not convinced the reasons
are rooted in sensibility, but I haven't researched it in depth.  As
far as RAM Cache Manager just generally being wasteful with memory,
well thats just a design choice, I don't expect it will change.
