We use default settings for SVG import. No gradient shading. We use patterns or solid colors.
I may try saving this graphic out to PDF and see what happens. This isn't an emergency so much as a nuisance and a cause for curiosity.

This particular file only has 2 graphics, and the other graphic does not cause anything like this bloat.
