Startup time for the GUI includes the time to render the icon. And incidentally for lots of icons, the SVG files are actually larger than their PNG equivalents.

What you seem unable to grasp is that the overhead for rendering SVG is very small, compared to the overhead for other things calibre does. The fact that it is larger for you, is an indication of something wrong on your systems.
