If the problem is indeed Inkscape, the only thing I can think of would be something like massive spikes in memory consumption, where the memory was still quickly freed again, and therefore missed at the sample intervals we took.
It might be useful to use the script that I mentioned earlier with the one-second intervals, then graph the seconds column against the first memory column and maybe you'll see some big spikes. The one-minute intervals look somewhat suspicious simply judging by the steady climb to 300+MB. This might be justified, depending on what you're drawing.
Below it is in minutes and KB. It only drops once at 20:24, which is when you mentioned noticing slowness.
Your log doesn't doesn't mention opening files. Is this all from one drawing?
