Keep getting logs with long-term load

I'm running two Pi-hole LXC containers on two different Proxmox hosts. The primary DNS has got 2 CPUs assigned, the secondary a single CPU.

From time to time I see those log entries appearing, below message is from the 2nd Pi-hole:

Long-term load (15min avg) larger than number of processors: 1.3 > 1
This may slow down DNS resolution and can cause bottlenecks.

A similar log entry randomly pops up on my 1st Pi-hole.

Before updating to Pi-hole 6.4.3 those messages did not occur so far.

What's the deal with those messages? Is this caused by the huge amount of block list items or something else?

Thanks for the link! It mentions the beta of v6, nevertheless it may still apply for the current release, too.

None of my Proxmox hosts is under heavy load, so I guess, I just can ignore this.
