Actually, all FSObject-derived skin methods are cacheable as of CMF 1.4; 
  because they are filesystem-based, you must indicate the cache to be 
used on the filesystem, by adding an entry to the corresponding 
.properties file.  E.g., to make the 'foo_view' template in your product 
cacheable, add the following line to 'foo_view.pt.properties':

   cache=my_cache

and then ensure that you have a RAMCacheManager named 'my_cache' 
acquirable by the skin method.
