I guess it's the RAM then.
But is it realistic that the swap use is making it THAT slow? yeah the swap is on HDD but still?
how do I check the mempool size?

shorena, thanks for the suggestions! I'll play with them tomorrow.
The node uses a wallet and it's a big one, so I'll skip the first setting but that reminds, can a huge wallet be a problem for the slowness too?
Probably, but Im not sure how a wallet influences the speed. The machine I use my wallet on has no speed issues.
