I only have 4 cpu coresand I was using swapeness of 60 now it's 10. The computer's uptime is 24d. I have 16gb of ram. going over 4 avrg load is over kill for my old hardware. Sometimes my cpu would be working at 60% but my avrg load is like 10 or more. Is opening a lot of stuff on the computer a problem?
Joining a Discord VC, even if people don't stream my cpu load gets up by 2 or 1, and if they stream it goes up even more, and if the people are many like 4 or 6 people the cpu avrg load goes up even if they don't talk, and if they stream and share camera avergae load is 8 or 10 if not more. Currently my cpu average load is 2.28, I have very few things open at the moment, It should remain as low as possible.
I'm looking into ways to reduce I would love to reduce it as much as possible so I can do what I do on the computer while also have the ability to stream it without my computer feeling unusable.
Some other details.
I tried to off load to gpu by runing vesktop with DRI_prime, but it's not doing anything, the average load is still high when I join a vc. Maybe it's the audio, my audio I think is the problem. Maybe when you don't reset your computer for a long time your audio gets screwed up. I can restart systemctl services. That could help. But, it doesn't solve the problem. Man I need some LFS, I want to optimize my computer so I can do stuff. I barely have anything on my computer, just running i3 and some minor applications no big deal.
Maybe I need a better hardware. I can use "ssh -YC" with my phone and 2nd trash computer with no fan to run programs on my computer, if the cpu load is too high, no big deal if the program doesn't require big good 3d stuff like a browser. No matter how I look at it, I'm just running some basic stuff. So any advice?
If you need a particular data about my computer feel free to ask, I can share as long as it can help.
