What issue do you have?
The 7za process tends to clobber my laptop. It is used during the backup process, or so says pgrep -a 7za. For my desktop, I have a nice modern beefy machine. On the road, I tote around a 10 year old laptop (MS Surface Something with 8g ram and an intel i5-8250U processor), running Fedora Linux 44. I use the laptop almost exclusively for Joplin, but sometimes browser stuff.
If I only have Joplin running, the 7za process makes things sluggish, but usable. If I have Joplin open, plus a browser open … things can bog down quickly. Sometimes it will make it crawl to nearly a standstill.
And so, my plea: make the 7za process less of a bully? Maybe a more friendly niceness value? Or something else?
