Bottom line, SVG is just another text format. The speed at which you can generate a file mostly does not depend on the file format but on the code used to generate it. Now you want to also convert SVG to various other formats, and this *could* become a possible performance bottleneck as you will most likely be using XSLT. A lot will depend on the complexity and size of the documents you want to transform. I would say get a typical document, convert it to SVG manually, then develop a hyperoptimized stylesheet that converts it to your desired output format and benchmark away. (oh and make sure you get a fast stylesheet processor as well, again experiments needed) HTH Jorg ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
