Inkscape's half the speed and uses a lot more memory. Better to
ascertain and report bugs in rsvg if at all possible. (I realise the
security patch thing's a PITA as well.)
Batik, OTOH, is poo as far as I can tell. Fat, slow and Java craps out
at random. Perfect results except the 1% of failures to render.
