Granted, but it's a happy medium.
You get the advantages from no huge calls to a db... but elements, like 
basic personalisation, can still be taken care of.
It could also be used for some pages and not others. If some content only 
changes once every 3 months (or some other arbitrary time frame) why have 
it created at every call?

It's a real YMMV idea, but I've found it works well.
