Most of that is probably loading Batik itself and support libraries...how long do subsequent renderings take? Also, there were some startup optimizations added to Batik 1.6 that might help.
We get excellent performance from Batik, but our SVG files are much smaller and simpler. Actually, 552KB seems fairly large, rather than "not-very-large". What does the SVG file consist of? Are you using lots of filters? -----Original Message----- From: MJ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 12:25 PM To: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com Subject: [svg-developers] Top 10 Performance Improving Steps Hey Everyone. First time poster on this group. I have searched high and low and not found a clear answer to my problem of slow performance using Batik with not-very-large SVG files (8 - 9 seconds to load and render an updating 552 KB file). I was wondering if there is a list of "Top 10 Things to Do to Improve the Performance of your SVG Application" Perhaps this thread can serve to allow people to respond with things that they have done to speed up their apps. The list could include changes to the open source code, changes to the structure of the SVG file itself, etc. Anyone care to contribute? ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
