We could reduce a bit of maintenance cost by removing all the defines. I ran some numbers and I'm not sure we are there yet in terms of lost productivity, even on the Chromium side. SVG adds around 20% to debug compile times:
Linux, Z620, no goma, clean build, ninja, Debug DumpRenderTree, without SVG: 4m05s Linux, Z620, no goma, clean build, ninja, Debug DumpRenderTree, with SVG: 4m52s Linux, Z620, no goma, clean build, ninja, Release DumpRenderTree, without SVG: 3m58s Linux, Z620, no goma, clean build, ninja, Release DumpRenderTree, with SVG: 4m36s For Chromium developers not working on WebKit it is probably best to continue building without SVG, even though I must warn you that you'll miss out on the some sweet graphics.
