I'm using Inkscape for rendering SVG on Win Vista Ultimate, 1.5GB RAM, 2.20GHz CPU and I think it's great. -MGrabovsky

Brion, what was the script you used for this benchmark? Anything more than the obvious shell script?

It'd be interesting to test these properly. (I've Ubuntu and MacOS X machines here at home, CentOS 4.5 and Solaris 9/10 at work.)

Some trivial shell or PHP generating command lines, yeah. By all means feel free to do a more thorough benchmark...
We've been tossing about the idea of using Inkscape simply for compatibility's sake -- since a lot of people are creating their files in Inkscape, having librsvg bugs muck up the display's a bit annoying.

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.
