 As of Dataverse v5.0 we offer an experimental optimization for the

 long-running jobs completely outside the Application Server (Payara);
 and preventing worker threads from becoming locked serving them. Since
 zipping is also a CPU-intensive task, it is possible to have this

-the main Application Server. (The system running the service needs to
