We also have face the same problem but in doing animation for "game" That caused us to sit down to develop one just for rendering - We concentrate on SPEED and SIZE. (Unfornutately it is not for MAC but it OT).
This is the TIP for LARGE SVG APP. - I/we as the render developer we don't mind to process any element of that XML. Howevever it take a toll- A big chunk of time for the render to process "Path". There is no-way for the render to know which will show in your viewport beside process them ALL. I have seen we have processed more than 500 in order to pick only one that line in the viewport. YOU CAN'T blame me slow on that. -This what I like to see" if there are some kind of attributes Top, Left Width. Height to be included in the element to screen down which and which. But the SVG at the time SVG is designed this problem has not encountered yet. - If you can have that in the SVG then rendering it just as a snap. Perhaps someone could sit down writing a program to insert those attributes into the 'Path' element. It sould be Very VERY GOOD It does not hurt to have them there Then the render agent will adapt to it without any problem - I know They love it. Hope this help.
