It is not the Samsung program per se that is making your computer run badly. Any huge thing absorbing all RAM would do the same, I expect. I find our systems always run very slowly when they start to use any SWAP space at all. Perhaps that samsung program it is not always going to be so huge. It may be dying now, trying to do some big job, or it is unstable. I'd "kill 2905" it and see if it stays smaller next time it starts. Can you feed back to let us know if the computer gets faster after that thing is gone? As long as your SWAP memory use is 0, the system should be fine. If it is not, then we need to think about other misconfigurations that are possible. -- Paul E.
