I have done a top. Nothing is running.
What did top (or uptime) report as the system load average and CPU idle percentage?
That's not terribly helpful. You want to run vmstat is repeating output so you can see what the system is doing while it runs:vmstat
procs memory swap io system cpu
r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id
0 0 0 0 134564 14628 51832 0 0 3 1 517 27 0 0 100
vmstat 2
Look at the si, so, bi, bo, cs, and id columns as you try some simple commands in another terminal.
