I know that the sorceress is extra complex (the most complex that I have ever done because previously the majority of images that I have done on Inkscape have been simple cartoon sketches of things like faces) and I produced it on many layers with each layer containing groups of separate items. Like the wings: each ellipse is separate and each wing is separate but grouped on 1 layer. The face is loads of layers but I have spent days trying to slightly move some of the items (like the mouth). Simple, unfiltered images, are no problem at all. I increased the size of the svg because I found that I was losing detail when I did a small svg and then exported (via Inkscape) to png. The attached image was exported as svg and converted to png using Gimp (rapidly). When I am producing an image on Inkscape I often export some parts to Gimp (and vice versa) and find the editing such as colouring, lighting, deleting and cloning better on Gimp and easier to give the effect that I am looking for. I then export these items to one or the other to complete an image. The sorceress was done completely on Inkscape until I did the conversion to png on Gimp. Dennis

It depends of course on the complexity of your drawings.****
Is this the real cause of your trouble?****
The size of you SVG is massive compared to most I have produced and seen.*
It is almost bitmap size!****
I'm not sure how you produced this svg, but it is generating a ton of bits ;-)****
I'm sure this doesn't help…****

PS Since the code is written to be portable, I doubt if the OS makes much difference.****
Browsers may vary a bit, but by any standards your svg loads very slowly.*
