Fresh Ubuntu 22.04 on a laptop that's a lot newer than that, with an i7 processor (7th gen) and 8 Gb memory. None of the cores is working beyond 20%. Memory usage is around 40%.

Swap is at 99.8%, 2.1 Gb out of 2.1 Gb?

Is this the bottleneck? I've no idea.

I will say that I always configure my swap to be equal to my ram.

2.1gb seems low to me... But gnome will try to index everything in the background and that uses a ton of resources.

If you're on a fresh install while syncing blocks, it I would expect your resources to be pushing the limits. Doesn't really matter though. Just let it ride. I think it took me 3-4 days to sync to the network with the default settings.

I didn't think about setting up the swap, it must have been the OS itself.

So do you reckon making the swap file larger or adding another one may help "convince" it to use more RAM too?

Could be. I'm looking at my setup and I have 8gb ram and 16gb swap space.

I'm using 3gb in swap and 2.6 ram.

When you use the top command in terminal, what do you see sucking the resources?
