I have done a top. Nothing is running.
What did top (or uptime) report as the system load average and CPU idle percentage?
vmstat
procs memory swap io system cpu
r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id
0 0 0 0 134564 14628 51832 0 0 3 1 517 27 0 0 100
That's not terribly helpful. You want to run vmstat is repeating output so you can see what the system is doing while it runs:
vmstat 2
Look at the si, so, bi, bo, cs, and id columns as you try some simple commands in another terminal.
