+h4. A Note About Template Loading
+
+Rails 2.3 includes the ability to enable or disable cached templates for any particular environment. Cached templates give you a speed boost because they don't check for a new template file when they're rendered - but they also mean that you can't replace a template "on the fly" without restarting the server.
+
+In most cases, you'll want template caching to be turned on in production, which you can do by making a setting in your +production.rb+ file:
+
+<ruby>
+config.action_view.cache_template_loading = true
+</ruby>
+
+This line will be generated for you by default in a new Rails 2.3 application. But please note: if you've upgraded from an older version of Rails, you won't have this setting in your +production.rb+ and template caching will be off by default. Unless you really need the ability to update templates in production without restarting the server, you should be sure to add this setting when you upgrade.
