Yeah, I guess it's easy enough to do on your own if you have RMagick handy. Good point.

RMagick leaks memory like a sieve. I do this in a pair of worker threads that just fire off system calls to the GraphicsMagick command. (Hat tip to HN: I learned about it here and saved 50% on conversion time versus doing it with ImageMagick.)

Ah, interesting. Yeah, I'm certainly aware of RMagick's memory issues, fortunately, haven't had a need for it.
