[magick-users] creating small thumbnails very fast

[Kevin Kettinger]

hello imagick users,

how can i create very fast (on-the-fly with caching) thumbnails (80x80) 
from (often big, >2400px plus) images?

sample image:

On a intel core 2 duo T7500 machine:
---
root at dev:/tmp$ time convert 124324main_122706main_hurricane_emily1.jpg 
-resize 80x80 thumb.jpg
real    0m11.144s
user    0m1.464s
sys     0m1.228s
---

How can i speed up this process?

Thanks! :-)

greetings from germany,
kevin
