I'm really surprised to hear that, actually. I find Firefox's SVG to be
adequate for most uses, though of course it has its limitations. Scripting
is noticeably slower than ASV, and it doesn't have SMIL animation or filters
or, most importantly to me, SVG Fonts, but for all that, I find that it
works really well for the WebApps I've built within those constraints. (In
any case, filters are so slow in ASV that I avoid them anyway.)

Fortunately, the next version of MozSVG has been significantly reworked, and
should be more performant in addition to having a larger feature set.
Considering that this is the first version of FF with SVG, I think it's
reasonable to give them a bit of a break. 

No offense, but it may be that you simply haven't worked with it enough to
overcome the quirks that inevitably show up in different UAs.

Opera 9 also has a very nice native implementation of SVG, faster and more
complete than FF, so you should look at that. I am able, with only a little
careful coding, to get my apps running in IE+ASV, FF, and Opera, which is
very gratifying to me. ASV is a great plugin, but it looks like a dead
end... better to go with the future of SVG, which I think will be native
implementations.

Doug
