force compile and caching

I am little confused about the optimum settings for force_compile and =
caching in a production environment as described in this paragraph:

From the manual->[force_compile] forces Smarty to (re)compile templates =
on every invocation. This setting overrides  $compile_check. By default =
this is FALSE. This is handy for development and debugging. It should =
never be used in a production environment. If $caching  is enabled, the =
cache file(s) will be regenerated every time.

Does this mean that in a production environment caching should be =
enabled and force_compile should be set to FALSE? Thank you for any =
insights.
