Just tried out GM on my main site. Everything seems to work, generated 
files are a bit smaller. With the image tests in the install tool I 
compated the speed to the statically linked IM 4.2.9 version. Results:

Test 1: 13% faster
Test 2: 32% slower
Test 3: 16% slower
Test 4: 25% slower

So, the speed may not necessarily be the reason to change, maybe a more 
stable API?
