How to configure ImageMagick to be faster? (commandline SVG to PNG Conversion)

I'm using PHP's exec function to execute the command convert on my server.

For a 6,7 kB SVG-File (converted file: 5,2 kB PNG-File) the following command:

/usr/bin/convert -density 72 -resize 270 80 -background transparent
  /var/www/app/img/logo.svg PNG32:/tmp/svg2png/20140105-
  a86b2ed2c38ed310020d201db8042d71.png

Takes about 0,0001s on my MBP but about ~15 sec on my six-core Server. How is this possible? Are there any settings for ImageMagick that could be the issue?

I already decreased density with no effect.

Thanks for your help!

Use -bench & -verbose options to troubleshoot what's not performing well. Performance issue with SVG delegates have been known, but have been addressed in recent years. Ensure that is up-to-date on your server, and that all configured features & delegates are set-up correctly. 

identify -list configure

See this answer about slowing down the convert utility on Debian / Ubuntu systems.
