I prefer having the best result as default so I have made the change (revision 8859). Interestingly, at least for my firefox version (iceweasel-2.0.0.14-2 from Debian testing) and also "display" I don't notice any slowdown so efficient SVG clipping must be implemented in both cases. So it appears in this case and also many others we are up against svg viewer software with quite a large range of quality. Hopefully, the situation will rapidly improve as more and more free software graphical applications like ours develop svg generation capabilities, and the developers of such projects start filing bug reports for all other svg-capable free software which has issues dealing properly with our generated results.
