Yeah I had originally set my swap/page file for 8GB to match system RAM which is a pretty common perf setup in Linux but giving it 16G helped a lot. The bot setup using the guide helped for sure. I can run my 13 pretty easily now, the command processing has enough overhead. Overall efficiency is pretty solid.
Thanks for the input, it is looking better - tho I am still going back to Linux as soon as I have time.
