That's the second report to the list about SVG being much slower in 
Firefox 2.0-beta than 1.5 (the first related to manual generation of 
Osmarender maps, IIRC) Is it worth contacting the developers I wonder?

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