ps axwl | grep imageunzip returns

It concerns me that the CPU usage is 0

No, the dash says read from stdin, which in this case comes from ssh's
stdin which is redirected from the image file.  Why the unzip would take
so long I don't know...

While that is running you can ssh into the node and run ps axlw and see
what imageunzip is doing.
