IT is faster but more likely because it is not doing thing right!
It forked from ImageMagick long before a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of bug
fixes were made, to core operations.

IM v7 will be forked internally soon, and I am certain the speed
issues, mostly caused by the use of multi-threading capabilities will
be one of the main issues addressed.

The consensus seems to be that GraphicsMagick is faster. Any other 
advantages/disadvantages anyone cares to cite that would influence 
my choice of one or the other?
