My computer has begun to run slowly in the last few days. Here's my setup: I run Kubuntu 20.04 on an Intel i7 chip and with 64G memory (DDR4 2666MHz). Using VMware Workstation, I also run a Windows 10 Pro VM. I have 32G of RAM allocated to each. Both the Linux box and the Windows VM are running more slowly; the slowdown is more apparent in Windows.
I've tested the "usual suspects"--how many programs are running, what resources they are consuming, etc. Nothing appears out of the ordinary. So I began to suspect a memory problem. I ran memtest through three passes, and it came up with no errors. That is obviously good. It also reported the following:
CPUs Found: 12
CPUs Started: 6
CPUs Active: 6
That may be good. The problem is that as a noob to the program, I don't understand exactly what it is telling me. Can someone (begin to) straighten me out? Many thanks. Apologies for the long post.
