Jun 5, 2015 at 6:24 comment added Marc Claesen @ml_guy it is not wrong per se, as the RBF kernel can yield at least comparable performance. However, training a model with RBF kernel takes a lot more time and you would have to tune the kernel bandwidth, which takes orders of magnitude more time than training a linear model. Hence, using an RBF kernel on high dimensional data is usually a waste of computational effort. You can see a similar reasoning in A practical guide for SVM classification (appendix C).
