This works perfectly
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=tmp.ps pendula.epsi

It also takes 0.28secs which is a considerable improvement over convert...

For some reason I can't get it to generate a png file, but running all ps 
files through gs first seems like a good idea to me.
