what does '.ext' mean? Is this a typo? And why did you set '-depth' to
'100'?
Is this the resolution of the output device? Btw, you don't need to specify
'RGB', because this is the default value.

Is this image representative for the images you have to convert?
Why don't you convert them to indexed (palette-based) images,
say, 64 colors? Thus, the TIFFs will become visibly smaller in file size.
(I wouldn't recommend '-dither', though; you'll only be getting
much noise in the images that way.)

HTH,
