So I have a 16mb SVG file with about 30,000 nodes and I've been trying to convert it to a 10,000×10,000 png image. I tried a lot of stuff and the closest I got was with inkscape, but it got some weird error halfway through the command and only rendered half the image. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

Inkscape does in fact have a resample option (it may be part of ImageMagick). These options are available from the Extensions -> Raster menu.
To resample items in your image:
- Embed the images via
Extensions -> Images -> Embed Images... - Select the embedded image(s)
- Resample via
Extensions -> Raster -> Resample
- Decrease the
WidthandHeightvalues to the lowest acceptable values ApplyandClose
This method will work well during the authoring process. I am still working on a way to automate this and will update this post if I find a good method.
Adobe Illustrator can open/edit/save SVG. Using Illustrator CS5 I saved the 30 MB Illustrator vector sample art Blue Mirror.ai to SVG 1.1 (resulting file 56 MB), opened the SVG file, and edited successfully. Windows Task Manager shows Illustrator's RAM usage is 562 MB RAM (private working set).

Imagemagick is a dedicated command line tool for converting and manipulating images, so may product better results:
