Thankfully this made me realize that the Ruby garbage collection wasn't working fast enough. So I added some code to free the image resources when they were no longer being used. This had an added benefit of speeding things up even more. I found the Parallel gem which made the multi-threading part of it insanely easy. See for yourself below.
