We have discussed this issue at the SMW Camp in Karlsruhe: the outcome was that
it is probably doable, and that it is more or less clear how to approach the
issue, but that we currently do not have a developer to start this project
(because this is what it is -- you cannot solve this problem by some small
changes). This may change (we are actively trying to find a solution), but it
does not make sense to put it on any roadmap as long as we know that no one
will do it anyway.

I am still confused why Semantic Forms are mentioned here. We are not directly
involved in developing SF: if you want SF to change, then you need to post a
bug/feature request for this component. But as I said, I don't think that
caching should be a concern to SF since it is just as relevant when editing a
page without forms.

Also, I would like to stress that this is not a performance issue as such. The
performance problem you mention is caused by the workaround that you use, and
is not part of SMW. Turning off the cache will of course decrease performance,
but this is not something that SMW forces you to do. The problem of SMW is that
cached pages may be based on outdated information and are not updated
automatically. Yet we run many sites, some of which with quite critical
performance requirements (see e.g. http://www.aifb.kit.edu/), and we never turn
off the cache in such cases. I am not saying that it is generally acceptable to
have outdated pages in the cache, but it is certainly preferable to disabling
the cache in a performance-critical environment.
