The convert-bench.sh script is a trivial benchmark designed to compare
GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick algorithm throughput using wide variety of
algorithms. Since some algorithms complete quickly, or execution time may
not be completely stable, we run the command twenty times and measure how
long that took.

These files are part of the benchmark:

convert-bench.sh - the script
commands.txt     - a list of commands to execute
model.pnm        - a small image to tile into a larger image.

To execute just do

  ./convert-bench.sh 2>&1 | tee results.txt

The script assumes that GraphicsMagick is executed like

  'gm convert'

and ImageMagick is executed like

  'convert'.

The script must be edited if any change to its execution needs to
be made. The script is well commented. The commands to use can be
changed. The input and output file specifications can be changed.
