Maybe you have raster quality set really high? Otherwise, sounds like
a bug in FrameMaker's SVG support.

I experimented with various formats for Visio diagrams and found EMF
worked the best.

I never embed graphics in .fm files (what the FM docs call "import by
copying"). I always import by reference.
