Running multiple content-extraction-jobs in parallel on one machine leads to an enormous increase of execution time (see tesseract-ocr/tesseract#1019). One solution is to limit the number of threads usable by tesseract. If you have 4 cores and limit the number of threads used by tesseract to two, two parallel extractions are working fine.
Sadly, there is no built-in option for tesseract to limit the number of threads. But it's possible to do so with the OMP_THREAD_LIMIT-command.
