Hi,
I made some bigger SVG files and noticed that inkscape needs some improvements.
Here how I made the files: - exported a map from xrmap to eps - converted the eps file with pstoedit to xfig - used sketch/skencil to convert the xfig file to svg
and here comes my wish list to the inkscape developers: 1) More import plugins. 2) A progressbar while opening files. 3) Speed up the file loading.
Perhaps someone can even look into xrmap and add a SVG export.
MfG Tobias
You can find the files here: http://www.hagemaenner.de/stuff/inkscape xrmap: http://frmas.free.fr/li_1.htm pstoedit: http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit skencil: http://sketch.sourceforge.net/

I've noticed the need for this too, a lot, when loading larger files (even just the tutorials and keys.svg). I've been too busy lately, but some time soon I want to have a look at this with a profiler and see where we can streamline things.
I think it'll be a while before we can do a progress bar though (although it is pretty important) -- there are several different subsystems involved in loading a file, and none of them are currently instrumented for reporting progress/status information in realtime. That will require some concerted effort to remedy.
