Is this still a problem in recent revisions? Some time ago I turned off an unfinished feature where the cache would be scaled on zoom - this turned out to be very expensive.

Hi list
A couple of weeks ago I posted a message regarding Inkscapes caching behaviour and also filed a bug report on launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1267208). It turned out program response is far quicker with caching disabled in the source code. I'd happily provide a sample file or whatever is needed to visualize the described effect if requested.
I think Inkscapes user experience could be noticeably improved by some simple modifications (e.g. an option to turn off caching via GUI) but in my opinion the caching systems needs quite a bit of refactoring. Unfortunately I lack the necessary insight and experience on the program to come up with a proper solution myself. I would be willing to give it a shot though if someone could point me to a good resource on how caching is designed and implemented (and would be willing to review my changes).
With the new release coming closer I really hope somebody shows some interest in this. It does make a difference.
Thanks. Paul
