I think those of us with a Pro+ Subscription have just got a neat Christmas pressie early from Xara.
The design file for this has two pages - both identical apart from the second has all the Stars that were in a number of Lines converted to Shapes.
LineTree page:
43 requests
1.7 MB transferred
1.7 MB resources
Finish: 265 ms
DOMContentLoaded: 168 ms
Load: 240 ms
SVGTree page:
11 requests
418 kB transferred
416 kB resources
Finish: 238 ms
DOMContentLoaded: 186 ms
Load: 231 ms
This longer DOM content Load time is down to the HTM file being 104kB now ; the first page is 10kB.
Across my local network there will have been little latency.
The pressie comes when you are on a mobile or slow broadband.
Say you had a fast ping of 10ms.
The extra 32 HTTP requests would take another 320ms to fetch the images.
So roughly, the SVG page is now loading twice as quickly.
Smaller payload, quicker page completion, sharper shapes.
NOTE
The design file will work in earlier XDA versions; it will have a worse performance as each Star will be rendered as its own image in the SVGTree page! (1,800ms Load for 355 requests)
