I did a more detailed timing test on SVG graphics loading in KGoldrunner.
Here is a typical result, using a large (background) pixmap:

    <1 msec  Create a QPixmap with QSize (784, 560)
    <1 msec  pixmap.fill (QColor (0, 0, 0, 0));
                     (same for QColor(Qt::transparent))
    223 msec SVG.render()
    <1 msec  Painter end()
    112 msec pixCache->insert();

The last line is a surprise!  That is using KPixmapCache.  Thankfully
KPmCache is a LOT faster on retrieval ... :-)

General conclusion: the time for pixmap.fill is negligibly small here
in Australia :-)

Hope this helps you, Aurélien.  All the best, Ian W.
