If we choose to distribute SVGs as the default background files, it may be an idea to examine the rendering speed. On my rather old home machine, it takes over two minutes to draw the mosaico SVG background [1] with the CPU running flat out. What really increases the cpu demand is the use of blur. Removing all blur brings it down to 3 seconds (about the same as other PNG/JPEG backgrounds). We should also remove all the additional XML fluff inkscape puts into the files.
