Stepping back a bit -- why do you need more RAM? Are you trying to keep a copy of all satellite maps in RAM at once? I get that large database apps and other server apps will use as much as you have, but with a base OS running Win7 virtualized and Arch virtualized on the same server, I barely crack 5GiB and that's allocating 2G to each guest OS?
Because my system is swapping actively. As I go from workspace to workspace I see the application that I have there (say, firefox, libreoffice) wake up, and sometimes this takes minutes.
ssd will help. Is there any way to optimize what you have running to play better in the RAM you have?
Unload apps, of course.
Firefox is huge.
< 500 MB on my machine
So is Thunderbird.
Claws is a lot smaller
Then I also use LibreOffice, also large.
< 250 MB My system is currently using < 4 GB
Interestingly, "clamd" is a very large app in RAM, and it does not swap out. Half a gigabyte. I have pending to work out how to load it on demand, and unload manually or automatically when not posting.
This moment I'm using vmware player, takes 2 gigs (for Windows 10).
