I'm afraid Imlib sucks much worse than ImageMagick.
It looks rather powerfull (there is a caching mechanism directly
implemented in it etc) but the latest version has a bug which makes all
applications crash on TrueColor displays. It's been a while that this bug has
been identified.
As always, the problem is to get the balance right between reinventing
the wheel and getting hooked on some external work that we don't have control
on.
