I had un .odg file and I converted it to .svg with openoffice.org
Than I tryed to open the new file with eog and system become strangely slow
Than I opened gnome-system-monitor and I saw that eog was taking quite all my ram and all my swap
I don't think it's a problem of the file, because inkscape open it perfectly
I'll attache the files
