So migrate to a faster server.

Be thankful it doesn’t overwhelm your site. The whole point is to prevent this process from taking too many resources, keeping your site responsive during the process.

Consulting the source is always a good idea:

github.com/discourse/discourse

lib/tasks/posts.rake

          def rebake_posts(opts = {})
            puts "Rebaking post markdown for '#{RailsMultisite::ConnectionManagement.current_db}'"
          
            begin
              disable_system_edit_notifications = SiteSetting.disable_system_edit_notifications
              SiteSetting.disable_system_edit_notifications = true
          
              total = Post.count
              rebaked = 0
              batch = 1000
              Post.update_all("baked_version = NULL")
          
              (0..(total - 1).abs).step(batch) do |i|
                Post
                  .order(id: :desc)
                  .offset(i)
                  .limit(batch)
                  .each do |post|
                    rebake_post(post, opts)
                    print_status(rebaked += 1, total)
                  end
