First, I'm using the version bundled with Ubuntu Breezy.
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.3 01/24/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

When I use convert, the process is very disk intensive with almost no
CPU usage and I appear to have RAM to spare. Why isn't ImageMagick
using all of my RAM? With the RAM full, the processor should get more
action.
Below is some useful information.
The command I'm running:
convert -verbose -monochrome -compress group4 gray0008.jpg gray0008.tif
*** My memory consumption ***
I have several other apps running, but notice the 700,000 + MB free. Why
isn't ImageMagick using this?

Thanks.
