Bug Information

Bug Description

My 4K ReEncode is going pretty slow-- slower than it was maybe a month or two ago? I saw there was the big 0.8 update (congrats!) but I also saw another thread that said that this is mainly a Handbrake thing rather than a Handbrake-Web thing? I'm only getting 5% CPU usage when at first I want to say I was getting around 40%. And it seems presets (and the entirety of Handbrake) doesn't really have a "thread count" setting so I guess I can rule that out. It actually seems to be slowing down over time.

Bug Steps

Mainly just trying to reencode a Bluray video with this config: http://share.txgr.xyz/u/tz1.json

Nothing of significance from what I was seeing. But I will post the logs for the worker:

Ignore the 22RF, I went back and tried it again on 18RF with no difference.
