I finally found the strange loading effect. I figured I would write this
up on the off chance someone else had this problem.
I was literally seeing a 5x slowdown on SVG images I had been loading
for weeks. The problem turned out to be a true type font I had installed
on my system. (Windows XP)
Here's what happened.
1. I installed a TTF on my system to get characters for a logo.
2. I converted the TTF file to SVG using batik-ttf2svg.
3. I stripped down the output to include it in an SVG file that I
would load at the beginning of my program.
4. I left the name of the font-family the same.
After that, whenever I loaded the file with the SVG font in it all
text on subsequent screens was slow the first time the screen loaded.
I solved the problem by uninstalling the TTF from my system.
