precompile handlebar templates

I'm wondering what's the best way to save precompiled handlebar templates and include them in an HTML file.

The site: http://handlebarsjs.com/precompilation.html simply advises to call

handlebars infile -f outfile

I put a template in a file and called the command. I got a JS file containing a function program1 How would I now compile a second template? The sample at http://jsperf.com/jquery-template-vs-handlebars contains multiple functions named program[1-9](...) I assume they somehow must be generated. Is it good advice to store precompiled templates at all? I saw samples embedding script or link tags in an HTML file and traversing these and via AJAX loading the templates and compiling them dynamically.

Best, Bernhard

If you want multiple files, list them in the command like so

handlebars file1 file2 file3 -f outfile

You DO want to store precompiled files for your production site as it drastically cuts down on load time.
