However I'll need a copy of your DB dump as I can't currently reproduce the issue.
This included writing a new (necessarily much more complex) phpBB post parser.
I then profiled parsing and optimised in https://gitlab.com/composr-foundation/composr/-/commit/6ad76a7eaa33a2e191b0f04480b901b6e6de479c
I think the core issue with this issue was slow post parsing.
