I bet it still takes more storage than an SVG that would even show the text properly.

So, one of the guys at work just exported graphics for one of our marketing sites as SVG, and it became a 3.5 MB monstrosity that would be orders of magnitude smaller if he had just exported it as a JPEG or even a PNG.

Well, if you are tracing the JPEG to make an SVG, instead of using the source SVG, that will happen.
Or if you try to convert an actual picture (unlike the thing in the post) into SVG.
Or if for some reason, you just have to use 50 different non-system fonts for a 4 panel.

But hey, now at least you can scale it up to 9999K
