I'm a developer at the New York Public Library and we're currently evaluating ways to create derivatives (i.e. thumbnails) from a library of 2 million master images.
At 5 seconds an image using a tool like ImageMagick (which might be optimistic), it will take 115 machine days.
Any suggestions or tips to speed up the process?
Edit: Original images are scanned TIFFs, 25-30MB each.
