If you know anything about PerlMagick/ImageMagick, please have a look

I've written a PERL script to thumbnail pictures for me (auto cropping so I can make all the thumbs the same size without distortion) usin PerlMagick. It works great except for one bizarre problem: when I run the program on this one specific set of pictures I have, the thumbs are huge (filesize). I'm talking 35-45K for thumbnails that are 95x115. So far, I have run the program on three sets of content and only one does this. It doesn't matter if I adjust the quality, either. Quality = 75 or quality = 0, the thumbs are huge.

The script does this:
Calculate size for cropping
PerlMagick->Crop()
PerlMagick->Resize()
PerlMagick->Write()

I couldn't find any really good mailing lists for this question and since it's porn-related, I thought I'd ask here. I appreciate any help.
