A patch is attached. Ihor: I tried looking at the link you sent but could not understand how to use org-persist cache. The conversion program needs an output location to write a file to. Is there some variable or function which indicates a cache directory to use? If so, I couldn't figure it out (apologies; I am not an expert in emacs lisp).
Note: as asked in an earlier comment, rsvg-convert can be used instead of inkscape. The attached patch tries to use inkscape if installed but if that is missing and rsvg-convert is available, we use that instead. In principle, the user could set the org-latex-svg-to-pdf-command and org-latex-svg-to-pdf-command-options variables to control the conversion program.
