I can't recommend libvips enough. I recently switched to it from ImageMagick+tificc in a flatbed scanner appliance and am seeing a minimum of a 2x performance increase with minimal memory usage. libvips makes it easy to setup a pipeline of transformations and utilizes all CPU cores by default.

Even outside of using via pyvips, I've noticed similar performance gains over ImageMagick by using the CLI of libvips. https://www.libvips.org/API/current/using-cli.html
