Sorry, but I have a few deadlines before my holidays, so this would be
hard. My guess is, it's as fast as ImageMagick commandline, excluded the
system call.

I know, *and* they change the parameters, so the code has to cope with
*that*. If you use a .so/.dll there's no more commandline order (if the
module plays nice)

You'd need root access to install the module (mandrake has a package for
it!) but you'd not need anymore system calls from within typo3. Maybe
that plays better with safe-mode ?
