As I said, you can check it yourself in about 10 seconds. Just take a clip of the browser when it's displaying your corner, save it as .png or .jpg, and see how many kB it takes. For something as simple as yours, I'm guessing like 20kB, but I'm not sure exactly how .png handles bi-axial gradients.

Dude, I'm great. 1 corner renders down to almost exactly 20kB. i.e. it's nothing, even at your connection speed.
Set it as the background in a div using css, and you can easily update or change it later. And to answer your previous question-- yes, the current .svg graphic now seems to be scaling properly.
BTW the point of vector graphics is to have a super-smooth edge, but tbh in Chrome your border does not render out nearly as well as a photoshopped arc would if you smooth the edge. 100% it will look better if you make it in photoshop.
