| Question about performance of ImageMagick.
| 
| Can I get and statistical data, examples of performance in a nice document 
somewhere ??? 
| 
| I'm doing very large say 15K pixels by 6K pixels bitmaps  15,000 wide x 6,000 
tall.
| Taking and image like this ... resizing, appending to another similar. Adding 
a large banner strip. Rotating by 90 degrees. 
| 
| I'm getting something like maybe 5 minutes per operation in my batch file 
that might have say 5 - 7 operations to do on files of this size and slightly 
smaller. 
| 
| I need some hints on how to improve performance. Yeah, I was probably hitting 
DISK RAM rather than physical ram a lot. Perhaps I need a good tool for 
snooping to see what's going on in that area. I did see my physical ram getting 
very full. 
| 
| 
| It did look like I was I/O bound as my CPU was low (5-7%) most of the time 
during these operations ... so that seems pretty bad. 
| 
| Most of the Operations were done by tool "CONVERT".

See IM examples, API and Scripting,  Speedups
  http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#speed

The biggest gain for you is probably
  * more memory 
  * using a IM Q8 version.
