kiwix-serve docker wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2020-06.zim unusable/laggy #400

The docker image runs perfectly fine with other .zims, such as wikipedia_de_all_maxi_2019-08. But it needs approximately 20 minutes to start the container with the english one, the german wikipedia appears instantly and does run flawlessly. I cannot even open the file, because it puts my HDD under a heavy load and hangs up. The difference in filesize (34GB DE, 80GB EN) is not very big. Is there another underlying issue?

Hardware: Intel Celeron J4150, 8GB RAM, files are on a HDD, system is on a SSD

@chjohn22 Clearly not normal but considering that it works for me, the only possible explanation I have for now, is that you use an old version of https://hub.docker.com/r/kiwix/kiwix-serve.

@kelson42 I downloaded the newest zim files and redeployed the container, now it is working. If you serve dozens of zims at the same time it will load for up to half an hour to generate all preview Icons on the main page, but now it runs quite well. Thanks again for this great and simple piece of software!
