I agree - I just converted about 50 photos to vector SVG with the source photos at only 640 x 480 resolution with Inkscape and laid them out on about 25 pages with Scribus and it was very slow to save although the PDF compiling was pretty fast. I bet it would have been much faster with a bitmap format but I didn't want to worry about getting the right resolution. Vector graphics are not a way to solve all graphics problems. When you vectorize photos to get them to look the same as the bitmap versions you don't save any in size. And although vector graphics will scale up in resolution, you still can't scale up detail.
