It's been a while now that i started waging my personal battle against .svg's weight.
As a mapper, it's kinda hard to understand that all the artistic skulduggery i place on the map will be converted in simple lines of code: color, map coordinates, size and shape, all turn in a series of characters. Among all of these, object IDs play a fundamental role, as to let the WZ editor recognize the territories and the bonuses as such, we are required to keep each object separate and Name them Territory_1, Territory_2, or BonusLink_X and BonusLink_Y.
So i begun wondering what if the Editor recognized as Territories and Bonuses shorter IDs like T_1 or T_2 and BL_ in addition to their longer counterparts?
I made a a series of experiments and my upcoming map with 3500 territories and 600 bonuses would be reduced from 2.9 mb to 2.6mb. Cool right?
Edit: I verified my claim and it seems that some awkward combination made me save this much space, but this happened only on one map and shouldn't be considered a valid example. The average loss is much less, sadly...

An extra 300 MB when you’re using all the extra tricks to save on space would be actually so much more to play with. Great idea!
