Working a lot with SVG on the Mac I can confirm that the Webkit implementation is among the faster. In some cases the Adobe SVG viewer is still faster, but Webkit is faster when it comes to DOM manipulations, creating/changing/deleting a lot of elements. I still have to track down the cases where the Adobe viewer performs significantly better than Webkit.

Opera 9 is probably the most complete browser when it comes to SVG features, but it is slower especially when the size of the SVG DOM is larger than >5-10000 elements. Firefox SVG on the Mac is awfully slow, maybe due to the fact that Cairo is poorly implemented on the Mac? (just a guess). On Windows, Firefox SVG performs a lot better, on Linux I get very different results, depending on XServer/Graphics card.

It will be interesting to see how well webkit performs for animations and filters, once they get implemented in future releases.

Thought you might be interested to see some cross browser SVG benchmarks which show the latest WebKit nightlies as the top performer for a Dojo Charts application.
