Firesize uses ImageMagick, which in my experience consumes more memory and is slower than libvips [1] for simple image resizing/optimization.

I built a simple image-resizing server with a query string API using libvips [2]. This is based on sharp [3], a good wrapper of libvips for Node.js.

We wrote the complete image processing oursleves, accelerated on GPUs @ https://IMGX.io (checkout Image URL API).
