This problem can happen with any stack and shouldn't be considered as django specific. What you are looking for is a solution in a layman terms.which then can be translated to django implementation.
Before that i would like to know image size and kind of image that you create. Is it some qr code or what? Please note that working with images on the fly is always a cpu intensive operation. Ill can come up with something once you share the details with me.
