The JSP spec for Tomcat 4.1 does say that a container may cache Tag objects between page runs. It sounds like this could be what's happening here. I've no idea whether it would cache across sessions etc. Up to the server and not the taglib.
On the speed issue. What are you using to create the SVG? And where does it get the data? Off-topic: I've been having fun with the Cewolf JFreeChart library and it's pretty nifty.
