Description

I observed that if I send multiple requests to Tika (eg. http://localhost:8080/tika) with around 5MB files, Tika is very slow in completing the action. I tried with ~20 random files, it took 170 seconds to process all the files in sequence. If I pass all files in parallel, it took around 780 seconds to process same set of files.
