First off, my test is completely valid. Let me simplify. Navigating the UI w/ svg icons is extermely slow and spikes my CPU usage stalling the app. Navigating the UI w/o (any) svg icons is fast and does not spike the CPU.
My concern is not with the load times of a 8kb file, but rather the render time of an svg icon. Your test proves nothing other than loading pngs is faster (which it should be). I am attempting to prove that the the render speed of svg icons is slow.
Secondly, I am not testing startup time. I am testing responsiveness of the UI.
How can you claim that this is specific to my hardware? I have tested this on 3 separate machines running 2 different operating systems. They all exhibit the same problem: the rendering of svg icons is slow.
I realize you would like to display icons in a variety of resolutions. So use pngs/ico/xbm files, svg textures are clearly too expensive.
Its unfortunate that you simply write this off as an isolated incident. I would gather that many user are experiencing this issue but not reporting it.
I do choose to ignore other telling me it works find on their machine, because that doenst help me actually solve the problem now does it.
Work for me! Is not a valid response when I have experienced that it doenst work on every machine I have tried it on.
I am more than happy to work towards a solution, when people stop claiming its a problem on my end and admit the software is faulty.
