How to change the number of cores (and memory) allocated to Ceph OSDs?

I'm experimenting with Ceph compression and am happy with the reduction in space usage, but the OSDs seem to be CPU bottlenecked with what appears to be only two cores allocated per OSD. I can't seem to find the information in the PVE or Ceph documentation on changing this, and some online resources that mention specific commands in this area don't seem to apply to Ceph 20.

Also, I've seen it reported various times that PVE makes some tweaks to the default Ceph CPU & memory allocations from the Ceph default presumably to assist with resource utilization on hyper-converged installs. Where are these specific defaults documented?
