I think that it would be as responsive and smooth as the flash in kartoo since the graphics displayed in kartoo is very small and simple. Network requests through XMLHttpRequest or getURL are just as fast as the network requests in flash.
Flash is generally faster in rendering than SVG, given that the flash plugin is more mature than most SVG renderers, but for that kind of purpose SVG would work very well. As to estimating development time: this is hard to estimate if one doesn't have any concrete specification. If you build on existing work for SVG widgets it shouldn't be so complex. But I can't give you details here unless I know more about the functionality.
