Chaals: - I mention the fuller zooming functionality because it would be nice to have. Opera is better than the other sgv viewers I've tried, but could be better.
- If I view the original dot file for the large example with Mac OS X Graphviz, I see essentially the same image, but the memory usage is roughly 100 times less. Zooming is continuous and instantaneous. Memory usage does not increase as one zooms from 12% to 800%. Of course it's not a fair comparison, but I bet it is informative regarding underlying computational issues - how things are stored and such.
