In other words, if you know an image is large, as in very very large, don't click on the full-size version link.
Size is not a problem: the png version is about 4000x4000 and I can view it fine with an Athlon 900Mhz with 2gb of ram, while I gave up on the .svg after two minutes at 100% cpu. Seems rather a problem with Firefox's svg handling.
Where is the image description page for this map, by the way?
It's here:
