    FFMpeg has an option -threads. You can define there, if it’s going to be auto (default) or you can limit the number of used threads (CPU cores). Recommended that you set your number based on the amount of available threads minus 1, or 2. So if you have 8 threads, setting to -threads 6 would be great. But if you have only one core and 2 gb of RAM, I’m not sure if this is the case! FFMpeg requires a lot of resources.
