FWIW, Mozilla seems to have made the same choice: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628747#c34

> Instead of using <img> to load your SVG, consider using <object>.  If you use object, you'll be able to load subresources and you'll get much better performance.

Lets not perpetuate the performance aspect of <object> and turn it into some cargo cult web knowledge. I'm working on fixing the performance issues of svg-as-image in wkbug.com/104693.
