Another tip is using wget2 instead of wget if you're mirroring a site (but this is more I/O tip than computationally heavy) https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/wikis/home
Sadly, wget2 doesn't support WARC last time I checked, but wget2 comes with a `--max-threads` parameter that together with `--mirror` and `--tries` makes it trivial to mirror even the slowest websites out there.

wget2 is a dead project or isn’t it?

Is there a command "wget2" ?
There's a link to https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2 on the wget homepage.
