Description
Hi,
I'm using beta QGIS 2.4 on Windows 8, through OSGeo4W installer.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or this is how QGIS is supposed to work, but I find this situation unfortunate:
For example, I have several layers in QGIS project - some vectors, some rasters from web services etc... Now if I change anything from any layer, all layers are refreshed (viewport is same). Like I change vector shape color to another color, and I get all layers refreshed (including web services) while I would expect, at least for performance sake, refresh just the layer that's changed.

I agree. This is annoying when, for example, there's complex shapefile in the background, covered a simple shapefile. When the user pans or zooms in on the shapefile on top, the background shapefile is also re-rendered.

You can turn on the render caching in the options dialog to get the desired behaviour.
Maybe we should just make the render caching turned on by default...

If there are no side effects, why not?

+1 for making this the default setting. I'd even go as far as saying this should just be hardcoded and the option removed...

Made render caching enabled by default in 52e9ee5d261617400ec939789c8aed3bbc828c2c
Existing users will still need to turn it on manually.
I agree we should remove the option completely in the future (like many other options!)
