[Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

[Art Campbell]

Another possibility is that SVG doesn't include a preview (I don't know --
format never interested me), but if so, FM may be creating one, which may
account for the size increase.

Might try saving the Visio as PNG and importing that to see what happens;
it's generally a great all purpose format.
