How to lower resource consumption on startup

[portly-halicore-76]

Hi,

I can't find this question in the docs, hopefully one can give me any pointers. When a new replica, most often after updating the operator, has been deployed to a cluster, it will first go over each resource it is responsible for. After that, the replica will go on reconciling on changes etc. However, this way of working results in a spike of resource consumption (CPU / MEMORY) just after startup. Later on it will throttle down and be less resource intensive.

My question is as follows, is rate-limiting, probably through the controller options, a way to prevent this spike? If so, how? If not, how do others deal with these scenarios?

Kind regards
