Considerations for less powerful devices
########################################
Paperless runs on Raspberry Pi. However, some things are rather slow on the Pi and
configuring some options in paperless can help improve performance immensely:
* Consider setting ``PAPERLESS_OCR_PAGES`` to 1, so that paperless will only OCR
the first page of your documents.
* ``PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS`` and ``PAPERLESS_THREADS_PER_WORKER`` are configured
to use all cores. The Raspberry Pi models 3 and up have 4 cores, meaning that
paperless will use 2 workers and 2 threads per worker. This may result in
slugish response times during consumption, so you might want to lower these
settings (example: 2 workers and 1 thread to always have some computing power
left for other tasks).
* Keep ``PAPERLESS_OCR_ALWAYS`` at its default value 'false' and consider OCR'ing
your documents before feeding them into paperless. Some scanners are able to
do this!
* Lower ``PAPERLESS_CONVERT_DENSITY`` from its default value 300 to 200. This
will still result in rather accurate OCR, but will decrease consumption time
by quite a bit.
* Set ``PAPERLESS_OPTIMIZE_THUMBNAILS`` to 'false' if you want faster consumption
times. Thumbnails will be about 20% larger.
