i should also note that we're still doing one QImage -> QPixmap conversion in 
there when we don't get to hit the cache ... we ought to try and kill that as 
well one of these days.

there are 2 things that definitely still need it:

- the favicon overlay thing which is scanline based
- the effects

the svg rendering might also want it as it might be faster than the painting 
to a pixmap depending on how well the pixmap painter engine does.

with some additional care, we might be able to take out the image->pixmap 
conversion for the cases where there is no effect to be applied. this should 
further speed things up in the populating-the-cache scenario. granted, that's 
supposedly a one time cost, but it's still there to be paid.
