This would give the user a better chance of realizing that the final output is poor quality. Is performance a concern here? I had the same experience as Guillaume in that the conversion takes a tad longer. I do not think it is significant, and the more accurate conversion seems to be a larger benefit than the cost of half a second. It might be nice to test on a document with 100 SVGs that are included to see how performance is in that case.
