Ubuntu will sometimes start using a ton of system resources. It's usually gnome doing something stupid in the background.

I'm running Bitcoin core on Ubuntu 20.04 with an electric server and lightning server on default settings. Works great. Been humming along for almost 2 years.

I have no doubt *once it's running* it will work beautifully. The problem is bootstrapping the bloody thing.

It's not the CPU, it's not the RAM, it's not bandwidth, it's not SSD writing speed (the monitor says bitcoin-qt is writing at a mere 20 MiB/s). The only thing I see totally at full capacity is the swap, at 2.1 Gb.

Do you think tweaking the db cache setting will help? Is there any other setting to tweak?

Man, idk. Are you still syncing to the network?
