The libvips tool is much faster than ImageMagic or GraphicsMagic for creating tiles form images. It has dzsave which generates all levels of a DeepZoom pyramid structure, but at multiple images are to be presented in a mosaic, only the lowest level is needed.
Hopefully vips can be used for generating the base tiles and maybe there is also something to gain for using the tool for the upper-level merges?
