Hi
Jeff: how about introducing a cache system for Basemap objects?
You recently gave me the idea of using cPickle on Basemap objects, so
I implement a very simple cache system that try to check if map has
already been serialized and dumped to a cache file, before trying to
create it from scratch. Checking is performed on file name which
contains bounds and resolution of the map.
Do you think that it can be managed directly (and in a better way) in
Basemap(), let's say using the cache keyword set to False by default?
A cache directory in ~/.matplotlib/basemap can be used for that.

Stephane: I think this is best left in a separate module, since most people would not want the overhead incurred.
