One advantage to consider regarding going back to pixmap icons is that since they're pre-rendered, it could help reduce start-up time, especially if we plan to have more buttons, and aren't doing anything to take advantage of the scalability/transparency aspects of svg.

So, how much time does it save?

Supposedly, librsvg can be faster than libpng for a comparable image in many cases. So what type of savings are we talking here? Or is this another case of premature optimization? ;-)
