      Depending on the render engine and the complexity of the
      symbol shape it might be faster to render the symbol
      to a pixmap and to paint this pixmap.

      F.e. the raster paint engine is a pure software renderer
      where in cache mode a draw operation usually ends in
      raster operation with the the backing store, that are usually
      faster, than the algorithms for rendering polygons.
      But the opposite can be expected for graphic pipelines
      that can make use of hardware acceleration.

      The default setting is AutoCache

      \sa setCachePolicy(), cachePolicy()

      \note The policy has no effect, when the symbol is painted
            to a vector graphics format ( PDF, SVG ).
