Well, with complex SVGs you cannot get the same rendering speed as

rendering capabilities in gnome are not very good, especially objects
with applied blur are mis-rendered as well objects using masks, fonts
are hinted differently than in inkscape, which often results in
different texts dimensions, which makes it hard to do proper layout, ...
IMHO, we are not in state where we could afford using anything other
than PNG or really simple SVG as our default background.
My experience is the same, so I agree with you point, SVG rendering in
the GNOME desktop is not mature enough for the task, using PNG is a
better option for now.
