Adding more AOS and adding AOS batch threads will execute more assortment publishing tasks
concurrently.
Avoid having same Retail Product Category in multiple Retail Assortments. If you do have it, then any
changes in specific Retail Product Category can lead to republishing of corresponding assortments and
can slow down assortment publishing batch job execution.
