Extreme slowdown on Raspberry pi

Discussed this a bit in #immich already, but after further tweaking i'm starting to suspect there may be something actually wrong with my implementation on Rpi 4 64bit (4gb ram).

I wiped everything and started from scratch. My upload_location is an FSTAB-mounted NFS drive (unencrypted this time, so that shouldnt slow anything down).

Server runs great on initial launch, user is created, i connect via mobile app and I selected an album of 20 small photos to upload. They upload fast and are quickly visible in the web interface.

Shortly afterward, the RPI becomes incredibly slow and almost completely unresponsive. Monitoring CPU usage through htop showed RAM and CPU mostly maxed out (until htop simply stopped responding) and now the entire system is completely unresponsive for over half an hour, despite only uploading 20 images. I understand the RPI is slower than most x86 but, should this be expected?

anything you can suggest to help me troubleshoot what might be happening here? not sure what to try next... thanks for all your hard work and responses (devs and anyone else who might be willing to assist)!
