I am finding something else about client side templating that seems significant. If doing the template rendering on the server a particular response is roughly 2400 in length. Just sending the data to the client and allowing the client to render the template sends a response of roughly 160 in length. The next step is to look at caching. I know that jQuery.tmpl() has some caching techniques to speed up template rendering. The server will always need to send the same amount of data regardless. So to me, this is looking like a winning point for client side; at least from a "everything is a nail" approach.
