If it improves on your code then let's try using it for bleeding-edge 
librsvg (2.52.0+).

I installed a patch into master to do that, along with other patches to 
try using svg_handle_get_intrinsic_size_in_pixels with bleeding-edge 
librsvg, and to catch some potential integer overflow problems I noticed 
while doing all this (see attached).
