more CPU?

[Recliner2042]

Paperless can take a while to process a large PDF. But I noticed in the resource monitor it never uses more than one CPU core even though I allow it to use 97% of 16 cores in the settings. I know paperless has several sub services installed with it. Is it possible that the sub services are limited to one core even though I allow more for the main app?

The problem was that I didn't catch that those lines are commented out.

@Recliner2042 by default, an app gets all of the server's CPU.

@Recliner2042 in paperless.conf, there are two settings:

#PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS=1
#PAPERLESS_THREADS_PER_WORKER=1

Could those be the ones you are looking for? See https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/configuration/#software_tweaks . There's a table there on how this should be configured.
