Ignoring firefox bugs with SVGs for a moment (which really aren't related to image size so much)... is there *actually* an issue with low end systems *crashing* when they view large images? In order to test these complaints, I opened a 6000x7000 jpeg image on an old win95 box with 64 megs of ram without crashing.. although it was slow.
There are times when being slow is as good as crashing. If after a full minute of my old computer trying to download that image it remains completely unresponsive it's quacking like a crash. Things might have improved if I had waited another minute, but I don't know that.
I gotta say "don't do that then." The SVG is rendered on the media description page, you don't *have* to click through.
