File conversion taking time

[zishanj]

here is the screenshot of log which shows some 97 seconds difference between START and CONVERT

Any idea why and how to reduce this difference?

@brendanheywood any input plz? :)

there are also logs like below which only START and END the process without any conversion:

why we have these unnecessary execution when there is no conversion to take place?

Sorry I'm not really across this one in detail, maybe @golenkovm might know a bit more

Just figure it out. It's working fine and efficiently. After the student upload assignment an entry is created in DB. A cron job is executed every minute to check that entry and perform conversion accordingly in the background.

But that second screenshot I shared previously in which only START and END process is executed without any CONVERT is not cleared yet. AWS does add that duration also in the bill.
