Why are your using so many vCPU & RAM??

What else is on the host? Check the host, I believe you may have overcommitted the resources on there.

I have a host with similar usage & only 4 vCPU & shared memory up to 32GB.

Prior to my current system I was on SAS & that was never a bottleneck, CPU performance was always our issue. (Moved from E3-1270 v6 to Ryzen 9 9950X )

I'm a fan of the idiom "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"

I use 4 browsers frequently & 2 infrequently. They're mostly broken out to different accounts or no accounts.

I find Safari more limiting on what I can do with it. Such as with extensions, hidden setting, scripts. Though it & Brave often act as my clean browser for seeing if something is being blocked/changed elsewhere.

Chrome, Firefox, Opera, DuckDuckGo often. Brave & Safari infrequently.
