Two things:
1.) What is the speed differences between using SVGs compared to XPMs for icons in the interface?
I don't think anyone's quantified it, but I traced through the code that gets called to render them, and it's quite extensive. My guess is that it's quite a bit slower, but couldn't say how much. I suspect that could be mitigated via caching the rendered bitmaps at compile or installation time.
2.) Currently, our interface doesn't use SVGs for icons, right?
I think it uses a mix of both SVG and XPM.
