Hi Klas,

first of all you shouldn't make this decision depending on if one particular
file works or not. We pass many official test cases and many files i've found
in the net during the last _year_.

Adobe's files are known to be slow and mem-consuming on EVERY other svg
implementation except adobe svg viewer itself.

If it's a big file, support for big files has been improved last weekend.
Please send me your file and i'll test.

Bye
 Bye
  Niko
