SVG processing limit(s) ?

Related to some personal SVG project files. Which are relative large files (containing lots of generated paths and other data).

On the largest of these files I spotted that some general svg-viewer failed with a "XML parse error: cannot load more than 200.000 XML elements" error message.

The same file, when viewed in Firefox (114~, Linux, Mint), also developed some odd hiccup that did not make sense. Unless ...

Is there a similar limitation active in Firefox ?

- I tried to see if "Inspect>Console" gave some potential related message on this. But spotted nothing out of the ordinary. - Searched developer.mozilla.org for any related svg data. But could not find any. - After ditching some data in the effected file, unrelated to the hiccup part, the hiccup disappeared. Suggesting I did hit some svg limit in Firefox. - File size: ~26.5MB. Number of elements: Other than more than 200.000, unknown at this point. (not sure how to count them at this moment either)

Chosen solution

Idea take time. And on a hunch of what else might have triggered the hiccup. I could quickly reproduce the hiccup in the stripped down version (~15MB). Ergo: It can't be related to some svg limit. (Seem I have a class-naming collision to blame in this case.)

Sorry.
