>all done in 50ms of compute time for resizing I would be doubtful

I don’t know the details of your environment or timing precision, but I’m quite sure that a single core on a modern server CPU can resize and JPEG compress more than 20 reasonably-sized images per second. :-)

I benchmarked various programs to resize images a year ago. There was a JS package with native bindings to GD, a go program, and a pure JS implementation. Both go and GD were an order of magnitude faster at scaling down and converting PNG to JPG.

You're probably right, presumably the 50ms of compute time, is that of reasonable 1.6ghz xeon+, and compute time is accounted as actual real compute time - not inclusive of waiting on some virtual CPU to be multiplexed onto a real core.
