I would guess that d.wms does not take into account the current region
settings for display, but whenever you write a new raster map, either
with r.in.wms or by saving through d.wms, the current region's
resolution is used. By adjusting this resolution, you should be able to
get higher quality output.

If you want to open a monitor and display maps during a script run, try
d.mon.
