So, why previous method was faster? Weren't image loaded?

What about generating necessary method by Digikam/Image Editor?

From ImageMagick man:

-sampling-factor <horizontal_factor>x<vertical_factor>
      sampling	factors	 used  by  JPEG	 or  MPEG-2  encoder  and  YUV
      decoder/encoder.

      This option specifies the sampling factors to  be	 used  by  the
      JPEG  encoder  for chroma downsampling.  If this option is omit-
      ted, the JPEG library will use its  own  default	values.	  When
      reading  or  writing  the	 YUV  format  and when writing the M2V
      (MPEG-2) format, use -sampling-factor 2x1 to specify  the	 4:2:2
      downsampling  method.  To use the same sampling factors as those
      found by the JPEG decoder, use  the  -define  jpeg:preserve-set-
      tings flag.
