Keep getting logs with long-term load

I'm running two Pi-hole LXC containers on two different Proxmox hosts. The primary DNS has got 2 CPUs assigned, the secondary a single CPU.

From time to time I see those log entries appearing, below message is from the 2nd Pi-hole:

Long-term load (15min avg) larger than number of processors: 1.3 > 1 This may slow down DNS resolution and can cause bottlenecks. 

A similar log entry randomly pops up on my 1st Pi-hole.

Before updating to Pi-hole 6.4.3 those messages did not occur so far.

What's the deal with those messages? Is this caused by the huge amount of block list items or something else?
