you should check out the svg tidy project, for all types of optimization.
http://esw.w3.org/topic/SvgTidy

in this paper there is also a chapter about rendering optimization: 
Performance issues

there are many  opensource implementations of SVG
Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/
Batik: http://xml.apache.org/batik/
KSVG: http://svg.kde.org/
librSVG: http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/
xsvg: http://www.xsvg.org/

you could look at the source and contact the creators.

cheers
Holger

p.s.: the Open Clip Art Library is a nice place to find tons of real 
life SVG files, created with various tools, which you could use for testing:
