Dear Maintainer,

SVG rendering is much slower than in wheezy. Looks like
libmagickwand-6.q16-2 now uses inkscape to render SVG images and
starts a new inkscape process for each SVG to render. It also seems
impossible to switch back to librsvg via config files.

By memory but you should check, you could convert somefile rsvg:otherfile.svg

Feel free to close if it work.

looking at debian/rules i see:
"--without-rsvg"

    Use internal svg engine instead of rsvg one

    Rsvg pull gnome and a lot a depends.

    use internal engine
