My Umbrel node on Raspberry Pi is extremely slow. Raspberry Pi 4, UmbrelOS 1.1

I have the latest Umbrel software installed, and the node is 100% synched, but even just to log onto the node takes minutes, and just to display the apps loaded takes a couple minutes. To open any app takes a minute or two at least. Anything I do takes minutes, from just viewing available apps, to switching to settings panel takes ages.  
I thought it might be the Umbrel version and install so have completely redone that by downloading the latest version and flashing the card with the new one.  
I have it directly plugged into the router to rule out Wifi issues.

I only have a few apps running, namely: Bitcoin Node, Blue Wallet Lighting, Electrs, Lightning Node, LNBits, and Ride the Lightning.

CPU is at 50% (4 threads) and Temperature is around 30c (There is a fan), 8GB memory with 4GB free, and 1.5TB disk space free.

Here is the debug log:

Is there two versions of Umbrel running or something? I see it says Version 0.5.4, but in the Umbrel web interface I am running UmbrelOS 1.1…could this be the issue?

Yes that is very strange. Just to confirm, you followed these exact steps? [How to update to umbrelOS 1.0](https://umbrel.com/update-to-umbrelos-1-0)

Yes, I removed the microSD card and used balena etcher to flash it.  
When I open umbrel in the web interface it shows the correct version and says there is no update…

Do you mean in SSH? I will try stop all apps, but not sure how to verify max upload target…is there a command for that?

I removed some apps, and did a debug via SSH, and get this output:

Just my two cents: My umbrel was taking forever to sync (over 4 days when the normal time is less than 3 days), so I erased the disk with gparted, parted again, make a full disk check and then installed umbrelOS again and it went faster the bitcoin core syncing.

The node is 100% synched, it has nothing to do with that, it is the actual node running slowly. It takes about 5 minutes just to put in the 2FA when logging in, and if I open an app, it takes another 5 minutes just to open the screen. Everything is incredibly slow, but it is 100% synched and up to date with latest software.
