Do you need to ask a question?

Your Question

Hey there, I have some pretty extreme hardware,

CPU: 9800x3d GPU: 5090

Yet, doing something as simple as processing a couple of ~12-page PDFs with a normal amount of images takes 15 minutes... Do you know if this is normal?

My GPU is not being utilised at all, and my CPU has very minimal utilisation...

It seems the MinerU command executed successfully happens quickly, but after this, the processing is super slow.

Is there some sort of config I need to change?
