* [imagemagick](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemagick) v0.1.3 - Supports filesystem only and "*has been unmaintained for a long time*".
* [gm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gm) v1.23.1 - Fully featured wrapper around GraphicsMagick's `gm` command line utility.
* sharp v0.26.0 / libvips v8.10.0 - Caching within libvips disabled to ensure a fair comparison.

Greater libvips performance can be expected with caching enabled (default)
and using 4+ core machines, especially those with larger L1/L2 CPU caches.
