See also my ad-hoc benchmarks at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SVG_benchmarks is good, but rsvg is twice as fast and uses much less memory. (On Windows, the fact that Inkscape comes in a standalone package makes it much easier to set up and use, and mediawiki-l has many happy users of Inkscape for SVGs on Windows.) But rsvg is a library and Inkscape is a full application, so that would *plausibly* explain the overhead (I don't know if it's actually the case). Obviously those will need rerunning with the Inkscape shell if anyone has a spare moment :-) What's the quality of in-browser SVG rendering on Firefox 3.0 and 3.1? Looking at it casually, FF 3 betas did good rendering but weren't very fast. OTOH, sending the hard work to the client when you know it's up to the task is reasonable these days. I believe ordinary HTML <img src="something.svg" height=nn width=nn> works fine. (Haven't tried Safari, Chrome or Opera.) - d. [cc: to mediawiki-l]
