Enabling the Twig C extension can greatly increase rendering performance. See the installation instructions for more detail.

I installed Twig C Extension, but it's reported to not be enabled.

How do I install and enable the Twig extension for PHP, in Drupal 8?
This should just work. Make sure to follow http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/installation.html#installing-the-c-extension and run the commands from within /path/to/docroot/vendor/twig/twig. Next, you should check again that extension=twig.so exists in your php.ini file and that Apache has been restarted/reloaded.

To confirm that the extension is being loaded, you can run php -c /path/to/php.ini -i | grep twig
