No subject

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.)
