Hi 🙂

I have a problem with “Slow get helper” warnings in the logs

Ghost-CLI version: 1.18.1  
Ghost version: 4.38.1 (at /var/www/ghost)  
Provider: Contabo

**I get a lot of these warnings:**

      }
    }
  },
  "logging": {

      "file",
      "stdout"
    ]
  },
  "slowHelper": {

    "threshold": 2000
  },
  "process": "systemd",
  "paths": {
    "contentPath": "/var/www/ghost/content"
  }
}

```

**Hope someone can help me out here, so I don’t get these warnings**

Regards

As you can see in myconfig, I have added this

```auto
  "slowHelper": {
    "level": "warn",
    "threshold": 2000
  },

```

But I still get the warning! Any help will be nice!
