Optimize string handling and fix attribute cache

This commit introduces two major performance improvements:

1. Memory optimization in string handling
- Pre-allocates slice capacities to reduce reallocations
- Uses string builders with pre-allocated capacity
- Avoids unnecessary string concatenations and conversions
- Optimizes pattern matching code to reduce allocations
- Reuses memory for string slices where possible

2. Fixed unbounded attribute cache growth
- Added maximum cache size limit (1000 entries)
- Implemented simple cache eviction strategy
- Tracks current cache size with counter
- Prevents potential memory leaks in long-running applications

These changes significantly reduce memory allocations and improve
performance, especially for large templates.
