Sebastian, As far as I'm aware, that's only true if the object that the cacheAsBitmap is applied to has animation going on inside it i.e. the bitmap has to be recreated every frame. If the display object is static - e.g. a ball, but perhaps with heavy shading/gradients/alphas - cacheAsBitmap should speed things up. As it happens, cacheAsBitmap=true is automatically turned on (and can't be turned off) for objects with filters attached anyway; so it's not going to make any difference in Pedro's case since he is using filters.
