Nagual. Thanks for your help. I don't mind that it uses lots of
memory. I just want it to take advantage of the RAM (fast) on my system
instead of putting nearly everything on disk (slow). According to top,
it's only using 14mb of RAM when I have nearly 1gb available. Of
course, I could just be confused.
results from top:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
3807 randall 18 0 14496 6616 2448 D 8.0 0.7 17:24.12 convert
Am I reading this wrong? top says convert is using 14496 bytes of
virtual memory, which is only 0.7% of what's on the system.

Try the following:
convert -limit area 8192 -limit memory 8192 bigassimage.jpg bigassimage.png
See if that works. If not, you could try using the Q8 version of ImageMagick
which uses 50% less memory. Failing that you might need to use another
program that doesn't consume so much memory :-(.
