The performance of the CKEditor Collaboration Server On-Premises depends on many factors. It is heavily related to the features used, specific use cases, and the type of content of processed documents. Some features like document storage, import and export, or connection optimizer are highly CPU-consumptive tasks. The CKEditor Collaboration Server can not only be scaled, but also separate workers for specific, CPU-consuming tasks can be set up.
