Well, I'm not clear on exactly what the issue is
with resizing. Is it
merely that it takes a minute per image? Or does it also take 45 GB
of RAM? If the former, we could of course just toss a couple of extra

makes me think something closer to the latter, but I really don't
know.
It should be possible to thumbnail a PNG completely from the image
stream, using minimal memory (at the expense of speed).
Imagemagick is a tool that is a jack of all trades and best solution
for none. If the problem is with using Imagemagick to do it, use
something else.
