Unfortunately I'm getting the same 100% if I run ImageMagick / ffmpeg separately.

No, but isn't this whole nice thing a dead end? Often times when ImageMagick / ffmpeg run there are no competing processes (ie. no visitors). But then if a visitor appears while ImageMagick / ffmpeg is running, it is already too late.

I'll look into it.

A lot of great advice here, thanks a lot!

O.D.
