Just to confirm that pretty much all of the games in kdegames will use 
the pixmap cache when it lands in kdelibs, as the disk cache will 
potentially solve some initialization issues when rendering complex SVG 
backgrounds. Right now some applications have their own workarounds for 
this.
So +1 for inclusion if at all possible before the feature freeze, 
provided someone with more experience in writing and maintaning libs 
code has time to review and approve the API.
