Hello, In my experience, Opera, Firefox and Safari are good enough for web- mapping applications. You can see one example at http://www.carto.net/ williams/yosemite/ - which probably has similar filesizes like yours or even bigger.
Firefox2 is rather slow, but Firefox 3 is much better. Safari is quite promising, esp. with bigger files. Opera has good performance and is the most complete SVG implementation, but it can be a little slow for bigger files (>30000 elements in the DOM) but its improving from version to version. Of course there are lots of places for performance improvements. For map data I also recommend trying to reduce the number of elements in the DOM (within the GIS) and gzipping (on the fly) on the map-server. See section "Ideas to improve performance" at the bottom of the web- page http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/postgis_geturl_xmlhttprequest/ . The Intergraph solution might not be as flexible as the Postgis/PHP solution described, but some ideas might help with Intergraph as well.
