* This is useful for parts of page that are memory heavy but easy to reconstruct. Between requests
* only the {@link IComponentSource} instance is kept, rather then actual component. The component
* is then reconstructed on first access
*
* This feature is experimental.
*
* TODO figure out what to do with this
