For what it's worth, I run rmagick in a (lightly-used) production
service on a win32 box and have had no problems, memory usage appears
stable over time. I had actually considered image_science as an
alternative, but given the lack of an image_science gem that doesn't
depend on having a c compiler on the box (a relative rarety in the win32
world, sadly), it's not an option for me.
