I stand corrected that smarty per se dosn't buffer.

I understand though that he's facing the problem that he put everything
inside a template so until he does a fetch or display, he dosn't get any
output. Thus the best way to get somewhat of incremental rendering is to
partition the full template into some subtemplates that render
incrementally. You can see something like that at www.dinahosting.com (uses
smarty) that does full use of hierarchical rendering with some parts being
incrementally rendered
