What advantages does your library provide over imagemagick?

How does it compare speed-wise?

FImage is a pure Python library and it allows you to create and even modify some of the filters ( I'm not sure if you can do this with ImageMagick).

About the speed, I will need to do some tests, in average FImage lasts around one second applying a filter, this depends on the size of the image as well.

If you're using numPy, you're already using c libraries and not Pure Python. Equivalent to using one of the python based shims built around libmagic.
