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.

If I wanted to do the opposite -- make sure that, memory
permitting, 
images would always be worked on in memory, rather than
caching on disk, 
what value should I pass to "-limit area"?

Thanks,
