This is not something that you mentioned before.  Quality level 7 is 
very low.

Add the option '-define jpeg:preserve-settings' before the input file 
list and then GM will use the same quality setting as your input JPEG 
files used.

You did not say if the operating system you are using is 32-bit or 
64-bit and if the GraphicsMagick build you are using is 32-bit or 
64-bits.  The ability to use all of your memory is limited if your 
application and OS are not 64-bit.
