I am running a Core i 7 with dedicated Graphics 4 GB, 16 GB RAM  
but  
My Joplin installation seems to be consuming alot of RAM, as well as significant amount of processing resources, i am not sure what could be causing it.  
i dont have a significantly huge number of notes

the main error i can see on debug is

`05:42:59: BackOffHandler: Plugin com.github.BeatLink.joplin-plugin-untagged: Applying a backoff of 8 seconds due to frequent plugin API calls.

This is a known issue with this particular plugin (untagged). I think it has been fixed in the latest version so check if there's an update you can install.  
Or disable the plugin.
