+      a workaround for document classifier timeouts.
+
+      Paperless uses OpenBLAS via scikit-learn for document classification.
+
+      The default is to use threading for OpenMP but this would cause the
+      document classifier to spin on one core seemingly indefinitely if there
+      are large amounts of classes per classification; causing it to
+      effectively never complete due to running into timeouts.
+
+      This sets `OMP_NUM_THREADS` to `1` in order to mitigate the issue. See
+      https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/240591 for more information.
