[Qgis-user] Qgis-user] QGIS slows PC to a point it is unusable

Hi Peter, what kind of drive has your laptop? HDD or SDD? Using 80% of RAM
is no big issue. If you have a 5200 rpm HDD I would get a decent SDD or
NVME (if your laptop supports it) and swap it. That would improve
performance a lot.

Cheers
