No, the stash stores variables.

The compiled templates are cached in memory in the Template::Provider.

If you set the COMPILE_EXT/COMPILE_DIR options then the compiled
template is also written as Perl code to disk.

So in answer to your question, and based on the limited amount I know
about memcache, I would say there's little to no benefit to using memcache
because TT is already doing what memcache does.

The only difference is that memcache implements a generic mechanism for all
sorts of high-level data objects, TT's cache is specialised and optimised to
the handling of compiled templates.
