1) The custom tags right now are merely strings on HTML that can be added to each user. Beyond that currently do not have any additional functionality. You can however add it quite easily if you so desire.
2) We are currently working on a template compiler for the forum. It is our intention to have the templates be pre-compiled so no work needs to be done real-time, thus not slowing down the forum's page generation. I have looked at several templating solutions such as Smartly and we may borrow some of the ides from them, however our needs are somewhat unique so we will definitely use "home brew". Since we are still developing the compiler I think it is a bit to early to give any time estimates.
3) We do a number of validation techniques and we have a VERY reliable & secure session mechanism, it would be quite difficult if not impossible for some to hijack a session by another user. Non the less as you've pointed out security is VERY important, so if you want to conduct a few security tests it would be highly appreciated.
4) The next major version WILL have templating and as such will support i18n. The different languages will appear when we get people to translate our text to those languages.
5) In the 1.2 release we've added numerous performance optimizations to the forum. I can safely say that the front page & thread views are the fastest from the 4 forums we've compared it to. The message display is about the same speed as everyone else, in some cases a little faster.
I recommend that people use mod_gzip apache module to compress their pages as it is WAY better then php's gzip wrapper, so I do not intend to add that functionality in to the forum.
As for page caching, on a dynamic forum such as FUDforum it would be counter productive since if a forum is @ all popular displayed data changes very quickly any caching solution would result in inaccurate data being displayed.
