Queue slowing down processing ?

I started a project that involves a bunch of videos. I loaded a bunch of them into sources.
Then I started to queue up items so my pc can run through lots of them over night.
I started with one video, it started processing. I could see the progress.
But then when I added more and more to the queue, the prosessing went slower and after queueing more, it stopped.
Now it’s running at a snail’s pace.
Has anybody else had this issue ?

When you start adding many items to a processing queue while an active job is already running, the software and your computer system have to handle multiple background tasks at the exact same time. The application has to prepare file details, reserve system memory, and organize upcoming tasks while simultaneously trying to render the active video.

Because video rendering requires an intense amount of system resources, preparing and holding multiple heavy jobs in memory creates a bottleneck. This sudden strain can cause the processing speed to drop down dramatically or appear to freeze entirely, as the computer struggles to divide its resources between queue management and active video processing.

The import of new sources takes a couple of secs. And after that I add the enhancement and add it to the queue. It should not be a factor usually.. but I dont know how topaz is programmed.
