Hi, Anthony

I did my tests on PIII 650 Mhz PC (our web server) and it takes 35 sec! to
do this command:
convert -background lightblue  -fill blue -font Arial -gravity Center -size
2000x500 caption:'Hello Image Magick!' text_image.gif
And 24 sec to do it with specified pointsize.
This speed in unacceptable for the things I am trying to do. Is it normal
for this kind of PC config? Anything I can do to speed it up (without system
upgrade)? Are there some alternative library that maybe simpler than
ImageMagick but can draw text faster?

That seems quite slow. You probably have a Q16 build. Try it with a Q8
build of IM and it should be twice as fast (hopefully more).
