Comment:

 I can reproduce the problem with ghc-7.8.4. Though it seems to have been
 fixed already in ghc-7.10 and higher.

 In any case, `svg-builder` has a workaround for the problem now, setting
 `-fsimpl-tick-factor=110` in the .cabal file:
 https://github.com/diagrams/svg-
 builder/commit/b7f4ac8209e66409b9848ae3de2b534692bd8be3

 So I don't think there is anything left to do here. Thank you for the
 report. Please yell if you're still having problems (you'll have to build
 `svg-builder` from git master, or wait for a new release on hackage).
