so moving a layer would be really fast.  I've also done some work
in implementing the 'static' property from SVG 1.2 which would allow
you to indicate that the rendering engine should cache each layer
in the document as a raster.

that "static" or "cache" property would be potentially useful for my projects 
as well! I also have to move complex groups (layers) in my mapping projects. My 
use case would be to move a group using the transform attribute where I know 
that the content does not change while moving (dragging) it. During dragging it 
could stay as a cached bitmap. Would that be possible with that attribute? How 
would I specify that attribute?

Like this?

<g transform="translate(56,0)">
<!-- that transform is changed while dragging the mouse -->
<g static="true">
<!-- this group content is not changing -->
</g>
</g>

or would I specify the static attribute in the outer group and am still able to 
change the transform attribute while dragging the mouse?

How would you interpret the usage of this attribute?

Thanks,
Andreas
