While paperless processing is indeed quite intensive, it's not like this is a latency-sensitive task. If it takes 5m to OCR a scan, so be it. That doesn't make it unusably slow.
What I meant is that overloading the CPU on a Raspberry running pi-hole will make the whole network misbehave and timeout, until DNS requests are able to be serviced again. But since they're not doing that it should be fine :)
It's there any way around this? I don't want my smart home applications to run sluggish. They need to have priority.
I would say not in a way that makes sense, there may be hacky workarounds like setting
nicepriorities or messing around with scheduling, but there's no way around hardware limitations. The Pi's CPU, RAM, and IO bandwidth are what they are, and you need overhead to guarantee "snappiness"This is what the nice command is for
Scheduling priority on Linux is borderline broken. Nice doesn't even do anything noticeable on modern systems.
