I think your theme is doing something then.
GWorkspace uses "system" icons to represent its special folders and the 
default size is 48x48: I have added those icon myself for the standard 
theme, but also for a few other themes like Sleek or Tango and they are 
all rendered to 48x48 and look perfect for me.

How does the standard GNUstep theme look for you?

Maybe you have a scale factor on your display or something similar?

Most probably yes, but... I believe TIFF and PNG are the most efficient 
formats here to read.
However, if for some reason you are resizing icons and instead .icns 
already has that format, it will not only less blurred/jagged but faster 
to retrieve (that's the point of that format)
