Try: convert -crop 200x200+0+0 myimage.jpg out.jpg

On my machine with the biggest jpg I have (5400x7200) the command without 
the +0+0 cranked away until it was in danger of locking up my system. 
Running the same command with the +0+0 took about five seconds to run.

No idea why it would make such a different, but hope that helps. (You'll 
need the offsets anyway to slice up the image into tiles.)
