It seems in my own games when I elect to remain uncastled, not moving both the e- and f-pawns is a large positional plus. It secures the king and virtually eliminates the chances of being placed in check.

In games where I enjoy the luxury of castling, I do constantly look for endgame themes that can be dangerous.
