    DEFAULT,

   
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that this node is animating,
and should be painted from the bitmap cache whenever possible in order to
maintain smooth animation. The trade-off is that this may result in
decreased visual quality.

    SPEED,

   
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that this node should appear
on screen at the highest visual quality. The cached bitmap will only be
used when it will not degrade the node's appearance on screen.
 The trade-off is that animations may cause subtle variations in the way that a node would be rendered, and so a node with a cacheHint of QUALITY may be required to re-render a node even when such subtle variations would not be visible in the midst of an animation. As such, a node with a cacheHint of QUALITY will often benefit from having its cacheHint replaced with a more permissive value (such as SPEED) during the period of the animation. /**

    QUALITY,

   
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that if the node is scaled up
or down, it is acceptable to paint it by scaling the cached bitmap (rather
than re-rendering the node).
