Add -debug cache to your command line.  Most likely your image is being
cached to disk which can be 1000 times slower than in-memory conversion.
Otherwise the conversion is taking place in memory and your system is
thrashing.  For predictable but slower results, add -limit area 2048 to
your command line.  This forces large images to be cached to disk.
