All last week I ran with 4GB real memory and a total of 8GB swap.
I was using all the real memory and pretty much 4GB of swap with

I think I'd consider 4 gig of RAM a bare minimum, these days. As
memory size has gone up, programmers seem to have abandoned trying to
be efficient.
If your prior install was apparently okay, you might have been just on
the boundary between where things ran smoothly and were close to
grinding through swap to operate.
When my systems started to go through swap, usually from firefox going
doolallay with some badly written site, it was usually unrecoverable.
I had to quit it real quick, or I could spend the next hour trying to
get the computer to do a clean shutdown.
Use GParted to shrink your swap and expand your normal space. You should
probably not need more than 4 GiB swap. If your repo doesn't have
GParted, you can download a copy and run it from a self-booting disk.
I have used it many times to move partitions around, especially to
reclaim the mess that Windows 10 makes on a new computer.
