+# The 1000m ceiling throttled Gitea badly. Measured on a running pod:
+#   nr_throttled   189528 of 1169014 CFS periods  (16.2%)
+#   throttled_usec 4424898602 us                   (~74 minutes lost)
+#   actual usage   951m against the 1000m limit
+# The visible symptom was slow Actions traffic: FetchTask took 3469.9ms and
+# repository compare endpoints took 3091-3811ms, so runners timed out and
+# retried, which added more load to an already saturated process.
+#
+# The database was never the bottleneck. A real action_runner UPDATE measured
+# 2.133ms with zero lock waits, so this is CPU starvation in Gitea itself.
+#
+# requests.cpu rises to 750m because a request below real usage earns the pod
+# little scheduling weight during contention. limits.cpu rises to 3000m
+# because diff computation is bursty and needs room to run without throttling.
+#
+# Caution: this pod runs on talos-cp-3, a control-plane node. 3000m is 25% of
+# that node's 11950m allocatable CPU. If Gitea sustains near this limit, move
+# the workload off the control plane rather than raising the limit again.
