Gitlab has been very slow recently with high CPU usage. Busy Background Jobs always shows two UploadChecksumWorker jobs running, and the sidekiq log shows hundreds of them running per minute, for example:

Is this normal? If I stop the processes they come back within a few seconds, and they come back if I restart the application. Is this what is slowing down Gitlab, and if so, how can I stop it?
Thanks!
