Thanks for your answer.

But, I'm not sure to follow :)

Suppose I have an uncached layer with labeling switched on.
During the first rendering, everything is drawn, including labels.
During the second rendering (same extent), the cache could be reused and
it would include labels previously drawn during the first rendering. No ?
