Mostly receiving posts and sending out to federated servers.
On my instance, i have a lot of federation incoming messages, subscribed to every large community I could find. And I'm getting posts, comments, votes coming in constantly and the CPU usage for lemmy_server is pretty high/constant. The digital signature and boilerplate federation text is actually high overhead for a single upvote to be processed, etc.
But CPU usage goes go down if there are no messages for a minute, but 20+ servers sending to my server constantly, it isn't idle for long.
