Of course, you are right. Right now, I need rough numbers.
The BitFlash web site says: SVG Tiny-compliant on Symbian for ~500Kb
If this is the minimum, then I would need a smaller profile.

Not really. The author says: "SVG Minute"

He must have implemented a complete replacement of Graphics to be able 
to do antialiasing, and these classes (the separate 2D lib) are 28Kb 
zipped.

Right, my question is probably more relevant there. Thanks for the tip.
