Not necessarily ... it depends on the implementation.
Consider that the JSP page's generated servlet will often be serving the template
text out of a byte array that is already in memory, so you bypass all the overhead
of opening and reading a disk file for each request (some OSs may buffer so you
don't need to go to physical disk every single time).
There are no absolute answers to a question like this.

That's certainly possible to do, but (for the reason cited above) I don't believe
you'd see any appreciable performance improvement on most servers.
