Most of the benchmarks we've done here were against Flash (SWF), which is a binary format. We were benchmarking for use in a web context, where not all browsers understand gz encoding properly (and where it gets even worse when you start mixing gz-encoded and non-gz-encoded elements within a single page). Gzipping SWF doesn't work consistently accross browsers, but in any case it usually doesn't buy you much (from what I've seen). In most cases, gzipped SVG is same-size or smaller that the equivalent SWF (or at least SWF made to have similar content). We didn't dig into it too far (we were just trying to decide whether or not we could tell our clients that there would be no substantial size increase). We also threw in a few other vector graphics formats, but without caring too much about the results. _______________________________________________________________________ Robin Berjon <robin@k...> -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Prediction is very difficult, especially of the future. -- Niels Bohr
