I'd like to create a montage of several thumbnails; but, the processing time is a bit long, mainly because of the -tile command.

Here I'm only using one input file, just for testing.

Is there something I can do to speed it up?

Montage IM command=> /usr/local/bin/montage -size 240 -label %f /home/xxxxx/public_html/test/images/dan1.jpg -frame 3 -thumbnail 120x120 -tile 5 /home/xxxx/public_html/test/images/thumbs_montage.gif

It isn't tiling, it is the read and processing time to handle your large jpeg images.
Add a -size 240x240 before the first JPEG image argument, to get the JPEG library to limit JPEGs to something just a bt larger than that.
