In the 4.3.0-beta.1 release notes, it mentions you can enable "libvips as a faster and lighter alternative to ImageMagick for processing user-uploaded images". In one of the linked bugs is says to install `libvips42`. When I attempt to do that on Ubuntu 24.04 via `sudo apt install libvips42`, I see this:
Note, selecting 'libvips42t64' instead of 'libvips42'
It goes on to list 13 packages that will be installed. Does this sound correct to anyone who has enabled it?

For future reference, the answer was yes, it's fine to accept the prompt and install libvips42t64 and its dependencies. So, to switch from ImageMagick to libvips on Ubuntu, just do:
sudo apt install libvips42
Then add
MASTODON_USE_LIBVIPS=true
to .env.production, and restart the Mastodon services.
