Indeed, when drawing fewer than 250 <line> objects through DOM, all the major browsers running in Windows (except FF2) will take less than a second for creating and rendering, at least by my reckoning. Once you get up to 1000 or more objects, then there seems to be a hint of nonlinearity to the time-print (for all the browsers) with curvature, alas, as one would expect.

I don't care about FF2 on the Mac, it is too slow and too buggy. It will be gone soon. FF3 is coming soon and is much faster, especially on the Mac. FF3 on Mac is just as quick as FF3 on Windows. The number of lines you use is not very large, so there shoulnd't be any performance problems (besides maybe FF2 on the Mac). and yes, as Eric stated, clip-path may help you solve the problem with clipping off geometry outside the circle/ellipse.
