<br><br>4 and 5 are much slower for a map with street names than for a similar map without names.

Doesn't work in IE/Adobe SVG Viewer by the way (neither the XHTML+SVG<br>version nor the plain SVG version). It could be a namespace issue (even in<br>the SVG-only version ATM, the default namespace is html; I really need to
