That was one of my main concerns for optimization.  If you look at my
code, you'll see that I'm using the ImageMagick library

        (image-size (create-image c) t)

The library does not seem to provide any feature for _resizing_ an
image.

I hope you can prove me wrong.

"convert" should also be a `defvar`/`defcustom`, I'll change that.
