What does Splunk search log "Process delayed... perhaps system was suspended" mean?

During a regular search:

09-07-2018 11:24:50.109 INFO PipelineComponent - Process delayed by 105.740 seconds, perhaps system was suspended?

what does this mean?

It seems not enough resource to process your search. Go to settings -> Monitoring console -> Health check -> Click on Start. After run the health check, Splunk will show you if you need to increase the resources (Mem, CPU, Disk) etc.

I went through the search log, there is no "Error" msg, all "Info" tag.
