somehow completely forgot about this being possible, i have temporarily raised swap, but will buy a rasp 5, 8gb and "Adata Premier ONE MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-II U3 V90" when i get to it, perhaps in the future i'll move the OS to a non-microsd drive, but not today!Take a look at what is happening with swapping. One potential is that you are descending into swapping hell where the system cannot actual get enough free space to run any process effectively and the swapping overhead brings things to a halt.
If this is the case, moving the OS to a faster media (SSD or good USB 3.0 data stick) and increasing the swap space will significantly improve the performance.
