svg is the _wrong_ format to plot a bitmap. It takes up 30 or 40 bytes
_for every pixel_! Use jpeg or png. This will already speed up the task.

I don't think you use "set object" to print hundreds of thousands of
rectangles. I have no idea how to make gnuplot do that, except by
writing an additional program that translates your dataset into a
gnuplot script, and either way it will be horribly slow.

With huge datasets, the parsing of text data can be quite slow. Can you
output the expanded dataset in a binary (bitmap) format? How big (width
in x and y) is your dataset, anyway?

see above.
