HTML page with problematic SVG image

Safari loads a page very slowly when a certain SVG image is used on that page. On Mac, the page load may take almost 2 minutes. On iOS, Safari eventually crashes.

This problem was initially reported by a customer as "the page does not load on iPhone". After investigation, using Safari's timeline recording tools, it showed a slow loading SVG image and a slow loading JPG image, plus a long time for a Paint event (30+ before the event starts and almost a minute before it completes). This paint event corresponds to the SVG and the JPG; the SVG is used as an overlay to the JPG.

Replacing the SVG image with something else fixes the problem: no slow loading experience, no hangs. So I've looked at the SVG image specifically: it's a small XML file with nothing more complex than a radius. I have included an HTML page with that SVG as an attachment. Opening it in Safari shows that it loads slowly, albeit somewhat faster than on the customer's website. (This test page currently takes around 25 seconds to load on my machine.)

I tested the page in Safari 14.1.1 (both the current macOS release and the current recent WebKit build (280374)), and in Safari Technology Preview 128 (15.0). Behavior is the same for all versions.
