Save the file as an .svg from Inkscape and pull that file in to GIMP. If the 
svg file loader in GIMP is rasterizing the SVG at one size and then resizing 
the raster image to the desired size during the import, a bug or enhancement 
request should be filed against the svg loader. It should allow you to 
generate a raster image at the desired size without the need to do any resizing.
