Question about performance of ImageMagick.

Can I get and statistical data, examples of performance in a nice document somewhere ??? 

I'm doing very large say 15K pixels by 6K pixels bitmaps  15,000 wide x 6,000 tall.
Taking and image like this ... resizing, appending to another similar. Adding a large banner strip. Rotating by 90 degrees. 

I'm getting something like maybe 5 minutes per operation in my batch file that might have say 5 - 7 operations to do on files of this size and slightly smaller. 

I need some hints on how to improve performance. Yeah, I was probably hitting DISK RAM rather than physical ram a lot. Perhaps I need a good tool for snooping to see what's going on in that area. I did see my physical ram getting very full. 


It did look like I was I/O bound as my CPU was low (5-7%) most of the time during these operations ... so that seems pretty bad. 

Most of the Operations were done by tool "CONVERT".
