I've always found ImageMagick to be an extremely powerful tool for a lot of image manipulation tasks. Why isn't it suitable for compression?

No, seriously, pngquant is better. That said, my research into the matter is rather limited so if you know of a way to do PNG compression (while preserving transparency) and having no _noticeable_ loss of quality with ImageMagick then please do let me know.
