I had similar slow-down issue with 6.4.1 compared to 6.3.8. But me, I'm 
using the C++ (Magick++) interface rather than the =convert= application.

I now know that there is really something wrong with the 6.4.1, and 
probably later versions. For my case, it was in the Quantize part that 
was messed-up and went really slow. Usually, from 1.0x seconds to 6.x 
seconds.

If I were you, I'd keep using the older version.
