Yes, in a classic sense like with Qt 4.2 and future x.org the CPU would do 
most rendering and generate large bitmaps which you want to cache and move 
around needing as much vram as you can supply. Small screen update changes 
would cause discarding large bitmaps and cause high bandwidth needs.

But this is about SVG rendering on the GPU, live zooming SVG icons, SVG icon 
changes (like percentage indication of task ready progress seen in icon art), 
the new 'Start' or 'Kicker' bar at the bottom of your screen to become SVG, 
the new plasma bonus and fun applications (curently still known as 
Konfabulator and Mac OS X Widgets) being SVG shapes and interfaces.

The more complex SVGs get, either because of beauty or just by 'amature add 
lots of cool stuff without cleaning up' design, the slower they render, 
easily falling behind live rendering. Optimizations or knowing and minimizing 
bottlenecks on the OpenGL implementation will help a lot.
