Struggling to understand what bottlenecks the thumbnail generation process
I am using Immich in a docker, I gave all the immich docker services about 16gb of ram. I have no GPU so it's running on a 8700K for generating thumbnails.
Outside of the initial batch which I knew would take long, i'm finding even adding small folders takes a long time. I added a 25ish image folder (always using external folders) and it is taking forever. I don't even see my resources maxed out. I turned off all machine learning services too, The drive is not a network drive. I just have 47 thumbnails to generate that is taking way too long and i'm not sure how to figure out what the chokepoint is (or just straight up stuck)
Hit the word limit with this so included docker compose + env file in pastebin
