Parallel Processing Factor not helping with Manage Tile Cache processing

[MikeSchonlau]

I'm running ArcGIS Pro 3.0.1 on an AWS EC2 Windows instance. I'm running the Manage Tile Cache GP tool. All inputs and outputs are being accessed from and written to iops (fast) EBS disks. I'm creating down to Level 22 (141 scale) using the ArcGIS Online tiling scheme. My Parallel Processing Factor is set to "100%". BTW - I've also tried "200%" and "16" which both yielded the same results.

Here is the problem - I'm not getting much more than 5-10% CPU utilization. Any thoughts on why?

Thanks, Mike

Strangely enough, moving to a smaller instance type actually produced much better CPU utilization. Solved
