Re: convert causes 100% CPU. Can it be decreased?

If you have a multi-core processor (most people do these days) set the environment variable below.
MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT

e.g. in Linux in your .profile set on a 4 core processor..

export MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT=2

You will then only use max 50% CPU. For a 2 core processor set it to 1.

This should work ...
