# When you convert a jpg image using ImageMagick,
# convert command options combination make a big difference in performance.
# so i try to do a benchmark test about parameter combination.
# 
# Fastest combination   : when given define option with width and height.
# Secondary combination : when given define with either width or height, debug option make faster.
# Thirdly combination   : when given define with either width or height.
# Slowest               : no given define and debug.
