First.   Read the image before you process it  ;-)
get into the habit of doing this and you will not get into the
trouble that existed with IM v5.

For speed and larger images I suggest you linit that to just one
channel, and then separate that channel as a greyscale image.  :-)

  convert rgb.gif -channel R -fx '0.3*r+0.4*g+0.3*b' -separate grey.gif

With a very large image the above will be at least twice as fast.
