Out of curiosity, why would you want to combine jpegs into PDFs? And why did that cause such a load? It wasn't just embedding them into PDFs, but somehow recompressing them too?

Documents scans. Lots of them. They all needed to get processed so the pages would be the same size.

I don't know what imagemagick does when you ask it to merge jpgs into a pdf. :)

Ah, that makes sense
