When I put my computer together in 2020, 64GB RAM seemed like plenty.
But I'm not good at housekeeping my browser tabs and other windows, so
somethines the thing starts thrashing. I recently installed adblock,
which helped a bunch, but then I just left more tabs open :-)

So tghe root cause is defective user.

there. Thanks!
