I know that the sorceress is extra complex (the most complex that I have ever done because previously the majority of images that I have done on Inkscape have been simple cartoon sketches of things like faces) and I produced it on many layers with each layer containing groups of separate items. Like the wings: each ellipse is separate and each wing is separate but grouped on 1 layer. The face is loads of layers but I have spent days trying to slightly move some of the items (like the mouth).
Simple, unfiltered images, are no problem at all.
I increased the size of the svg because I found that I was losing detail when I did a small svg and then exported (via Inkscape) to png.
The attached image was exported as svg and converted to png using Gimp (rapidly).
When I am producing an image on Inkscape I often export some parts to Gimp (and vice versa) and find the editing such as colouring, lighting, deleting and cloning better on Gimp and easier to give the effect that I am looking for. I then export these items to one or the other to complete an image.
The sorceress was done completely on Inkscape until I did the conversion to png on Gimp.

It depends of course on the complexity of your drawings.

 

Is this the real cause of your trouble?

 

The size of you SVG is massive compared to most I have produced and seen.

 

It is almost bitmap size!

 

I'm not sure how you produced this svg, but it is generating a ton of bits ;-)

 

I'm sure this doesn't help…

PS Since the code is written to be portable, I doubt if the OS makes much difference.

 

Browsers may vary a bit, but by any standards your svg loads very slowly.
