I just shelled out to inkscape and used command line parameters to
save the output to a png. It was fast and did a nice job.

I have not tried Kou's suggestion, but was guessing almost anything
would work better than "convert" and also that there was a reasonable
change that gtk shared the svg parse/render with inkscape (but I have
not verified this in any way).
