"convert" process eating CPU

It’s a DO droplet with 4 GB Memory / 60 GB Disk / Ubuntu Discourse on 14.04

This is the performance of the last 24h.


(those breakdowns are me restarting the server or just the site down when I was not able to restart it)

More performance screenshots with details 📈



I would like to mention we’ve never had performance issues (memory and disk) until now with the convert process.

I followed your suggestion and the performance is better (as expected, fewer things to do), but the queue still increasing instead of going to less.

Thanks everyone for your time.
