> images so that installs on smaller shared hosting environments can handle
> processing large images.
New description:
This ticket is a placeholder for patches of proposed changes to Imagick
settings in the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ricg-responsive-images/
RICG feature plugin].
The plugin's Imagick settings reduce file size by up to 50%.
These changes are being considered separately for merge because during
development, it was found that the current methods require too much RAM
usage for some shared hosts.
Tests for compared CPU and memory usage required for
consideration/approval.
Details on optimal settings can be found in @dnewton's

imagemagick/ Efficient Image Resizing With ImageMagick].
