I do this all the time but use tiffcp which does it quite quickly and
without requiring much memory.

tiffcp -L -c g4 -r 10000 page-*.tiff multipage.tiff 
the -L and -r 10000 are not required, the tool I use to make PDF's needs
them.  The -c g4 is to select output file compression type.

tiffcp is from libtiff package tiff tools, My Redhat has it or
