 if CPU usage isn't maxed out it's blocked on disk i/o likely, storing the data direcotry on a faster disk (if it's not already a NVME) might help

(monero doesn't have the separation between an UTXO set database and the blockchain storage, so the entire thing needs to be on fast disk) 
 Thanks nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg5waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8svrx9ehhyee0qydhwumn8ghj7argv4nx7un9wd6zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcqyq9288j6a7v6qq98hkctfxg43jftcj4zp7m9jvd995z4kh4kmlmnsnjgmms . The Disk is also not maxed out. I get a spike every once in a while, but than it sits at at low levels for long periods.

This is why I'm guessing that the network is drip feeding my node most of the time.
