Disclaimer

Please note that in some case the use of imagemagick will produce very high load. There is kind of a bug in OpenMP Library. Please check that imagemagick isn't compiled with OpenMP extension.

Please look here:

Magento will extensivly check for enough memory to work with the image. The extension will always assume that you will give enough memory to process all your pictures. XHProf proofed that without the memory checking, the image proccesing runs much faster.
