The Pi5 reports 
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  
available
Mem:           7.9Gi       2.3Gi       2.0Gi       537Mi       4.2Gi      
5.6Gi
Swap:          199Mi       150Mi        49Mi

The Pi2 of course much less, around 500M available. Clearly it's both memory
and CPU bound. My grumbles were mostly directed at the Pi5, very hard to see
how it could have memory limitations.

Thanks for writing,
