re: svg convertion tools

Notice:
-------

The SVG file should be less than 20,000 lines of XML for lagginess
The SVG file should be less than 10,000 lines of XML for a 3 second waiting 
period

I saw the color distortion, maybe it's due to GD library ?!?
if the original image is PNG, the distortion is nearly undetectable.

This method works mostly for small images, further optimization
is needed for big wide pictures.
