SVG (Score 1)

i'm working on a webapp with several others devs, one using amd64 linux and another using xp, while i rock out on my macbook. we are doing a lot with SVG for our UI and about 95% of our problems have been with rendering SVG (across platforms). the biggest problem is that a page with some 5000 elements takes about 2-3 seconds to load on both the linux and windows side, but about 50 seconds for the mac, despite the fact that the mac has a core duo cpu and 4X more memory than either linux or windows.
