Batik rendering only: when an actor is first dragged to the canvas, or when a
workflow is first opened, there is a long delay before the new-style SVG icons
appear. Subsequent renderings of the same actor are much faster, since the icons
are cached on a per-actor basis. Need to:

1) look at initial rendering and see how it can be made faster

2) do caching on a per-image basis, so each image is read and parsed only once,
then put in a global cache
