Hello,
I recently installed Leap 15.0 on a workstation that has an nvidia graphics card installed (Quadro K2200), and since I've been using it for graphics work I've noticed that it continuously pauses. Even while editing a file or typing this email the entire screen pauses for half a second - every 5 seconds.
What other applications do you have running? In the past, mail clients with a large number of servers to check or large mail stores were notorious for this. While more cores and threading has made this better, depending on your hardware, something like that could still be occurring. The other aspect would be swapping. (check with top or "free -tm") If you are editing huge graphics or video that is causing whatever application you are using to swap, you could see exactly what you describe. You can control the swap behavior to some extent by reducing the "swappiness" value in /proc/sys/vm/swappiness. Default value is 60, you can try reducing that to 10 or so and see if it makes any difference. You can make the setting permanent if it helps by creating: /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf and setting: vm.swappiness = 10 -- David C.
