A good example to see how the smooth property was broken is the animation of the analog clock's hands (best enable second hand to see often): the Hand.qml has "smooth: !anim.running" set as property for the SvgItem. Without this patch, the hand during animation looks fine. With this patch, the hand looks very unsmooth during animation. As aftermath I would actually do a patch to change this to "smooth: true", given it looks quite bad and no-one before complained about resource issues, so this once intended optimization seems unneeded now.
