I used ImageMagick 6.4.2-10 for some days and today changes to version 6.5.2-8. Then I found the issue that,
For the same picture operation which resize a 1540x2320 jpg file(2.56Mb) to a 600x900 one,
with 6.4.2-10, the output file is 509Kb
with 6.5.2.-8, the output file is 183Kb, and the speed is much more faster
Because the differences of the output file size is too much, so I don't know whether it is correct. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks in advance
By the way, I use the command "convert -resize" to the same jpg file, and found the same issue, for different version of ImageMagick, the output file sizes have great difference.

Most likely its the default image compression quality. You can set it yourself with -quality 92, for example.
