i was wondering if it would be possible to pass a sess id to the cache id so each user/viewer has their own cached template.
could this serve a purpose or will it only slow down the performance?

it's possible. you just should ensure that your garbage-collector removes the cache-group when the session expires.

only you can judge if it is an improvement. if a page is never visited twice in a session it's just overhead to write the files to disk without reusing them, of course.

if you mainly use your session to track authentication it may be better to create one cache per userid instead of one per session maybe.
