Hi Guys is there a bug with placing a svg file (only 425kb) as a background image and using the controls to cover the grid?

Had a HUGE slowdown, I have been working in RSD all week with no issues until I popped the svg into the grid.

That is a huge image. Trim that down to under 100k and see if that helps.

Hi Scott :)

I was doing a quick test and have not played with the image, its less than half a meg, not really that big IMO a lot of sites I go to now are using 1mb Images on backgrounds, take this one for example http://manowarcorsair.com/, the backgrounds here are 500+kbs to 1.07 mb each :D
but the svg caused a major issue within RSD.

I will try it with a different format .png or .jpg of around the same size when I get a chance.
