Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10913

A webp image with 720x416 resolution and a file size of 26 KB. When I want to analyze this image with Gemma3:12b model, it seems to wait 10-12 seconds just for this conversion.

Actually model is quite fast 23.5tokens/s. If I continue the analysis with the same image, the total time is shortened by 10-12 seconds. But if I want it to analyze with a new image, I wait 10-15 seconds even though it is a small image. Do you think it is normal for this process to be this slow?

I'm sure this cycle can be done much faster. Is time being wasted elsewhere?
