If by removing you meant disabling the layout plugin in the admin panel, then when i do that, the map doesn’t show up at all and the dreaded CPU utilization issue comes back.

What’s this openvpn user running the Ruby/ unicorns? Is it the same as the Discourse unicorns? Assuming this is intended and desired, how can I free up some cpu cycles so the site doesn’t run so slow? Sidekiq is showing barely anything running in the background. No users are on other than me.

I haven’t tried rebuilding the container without the layout plugin, however, if that’s what you meant.

No worries about the support period. Realize you are moving and got your hands full. This is more about providing the data points for your future reference.
