 ImageMagick) as a proof-of-concept, but wanted to post this in the

 in-memory-then-save process is significantly different than avoiding any
 images in memory, and doing as few system calls as possible, for something
 like `convert`.

 are you sure that really need to execute system calls?
 http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php

 > I'd thought about including functions like truecolor_to_palette(), but
 decided against it because not all Editors need to make this an extra
 step.  In ImageMagick, it's just another parameter for file
 conversion/creation that can go along with a resize, for instance.

 In my opinion, one essencial feature would be the option to set a default
 quality to image
 (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#quality) then,
 the user administrator could enable/set a value to the optimization...

 one last thing, why not graphicsmagick? has better performance and less
 problems than imagemagick...
