Thanks a ton, 5 created blurry results (because im using -scale) but 90 (as pointed out by snibgo) seems to produce good results while being gentle on memory.

So just to get this right; IM tries to render the vector in full size to then shrink it to the desired resolution?

So far I've been able to record as much as ...
