> Once the email jobs are `scheduled`, your sidekiq workers are working through them one at a time. Bumping up the sidekiq workers (set `DISCOURSE_SIDEKIQ_WORKERS` up from 5 to 10, 15, or 20 depending on server capacity) means more jobs get processed at the same time, so the queue gets emptied 2x/3x/4x faster.

Great insight, thank you 🙂

Does that `DISCOURSE_SIDEKIQ_WORKERS` have to be a multiple of 5? Could I set it to 7 for example?

I don’t have that parameter setting in my `app.yml` so I’ll assume it’s on a default of 5 somewhere.

Can I just create that setting under the existing unicorn workers setting, then rebuild?

Eg:

```plaintext
expose:
  - “443:443”

env:
    UNICORN_WORKERS: 8
    DISCOURSE_SIDEKIQ_WORKERS: 7

```

Is it as simple as that? 🤔
