There is also a specs difference between the LiveCD and the install, installed ubuntu is quite nice on 256MB ram, but the Live CD I suspect takes more, I've also noticed great improvements in speed when the swap drive is taken into consideration.
For the SVGs you can edit it in a text editor be careful not to change anything in <> and you should be able to correct any text mistakes.
I know there are tools which will also strip out text from an SVG file.

Couldn't send the svg to the group mailing list because of size restrictions. So am just sending the body of the message.

Hi Martin,
There are a few spelling and grammatical errors in the text --perhaps if
you can send the text, I would be happy to do the proofreading/editing
for you. I tried editing the svg file as attached but somehow may have
changed the graphics as i am not used to working with inkscape.
Hope the changed svg suits the purpose. I had also changed the system
requirements (since I have also seen the system is too slow at what you
had written-- I tested it on a toshiba p2 750 mhz 128 mb ram 20 gb disk
laptop and also a p2 500 mhz, 128 mb ram, 40 gb desktop and it was
awfully slow specially the gnome/x gui. Have also tried it on a dell
desktop --p3 1.7ghz, 256 mb ram, 80 gb disk and there also it was slow
till the ram was doubled to 512 mb. So it needs atleast 512mb ram and a
p3 to work effectively. Winxp runs faster for similar systems since i
had a dual boot partitioned system on the dell machine in my office
computer. Maybe we need more tweaking of ubuntu. I have tried damn small
linux (kernel 2.4.x something) and fedora core kernel 2.6.15 also and
they somehow seemed faster or were specially tweaked/optimised for
working only a few select applications.
The fedora core machine was in a cybercafe in Toronto and though I tried
to get the hardware specs (it was a 686 machine), I couldn't fiddle much
without arousing suspicion. The kernel was more advanced than the
standard available in breezy badger (2.6.12 or something) though firefox
version was older than the ubuntu 5.10.
Ram is key to speed for a unix/linux system though the cpu also is.
