Now my problem is that whenever I have a browser open and an internet connection, my Centos 7 slows to a crawl. Chromium seems to be the least bad. Sometimes it slows to the point that I cannot even move the mouse. Even switching between virtual terminals takes a while sometimes. When I get there, top generally shows me between two and five D states.
Are you sure you don’t have other processes or users running on the system? It only happens when you have a network connection? It might also be swapping heavily, check to see how much RAM you have. Check the output of ‘free’.
Look at the syslogs/journal when you’re logged in (in a terminal, run ’sudo journalctl -xfl’). You will see a lot of stuff printed, but it might give you an idea of what’s going on.
