... and a comparison of benchmarks – ImageMagick vs. competitors like the very fast, low memory VIPS:

VIPS values are very good and you should notice it says "All timings are for a 5,000 by 5,000 pixel 8-bit RGB image in uncompressed tiled TIFF format, 128 by 128 pixel tiles". I haven't used VIPS in production. It seems like it's better for big files. I heard VIPS is not that performing with small files.
