So I will assume that my system is using the nvidia driver

Hello:
I don't know where to look for even getting started on this odd situation.
I am running openSuse Linux Leap 15.5 (up to date on software) on a 32
gigs main memory. Currently the programs running are 22.9 tasks average
consuming 2.89 gigs of memory.
When I go to type a command in the konsole window, sometimes things will
freeze, like the whole system is halted for a few seconds, then things
will resume forward from that point. The effect is like someone
stuttering, or temporary paralysis affecting the whole system. Sometimes
I am forced to wait a few seconds before things resume again.
I am using the KDE Plasma desktop. I particularly notice the problem
when I will do tab completion or when I hit the backup key. I did check
the etc/completion.d folder but don't really know what to look for or
what is considered normal.
Any ideas? I am totally puzzled by this strange behavior. I notice that
the clock icon keeps ticking just fine (when the system went into
swapping, sometimes the clock would freeze, so it's not that situation)
but you are forced to wait until the freeze-up goes away.

Thats a beefy system. Do you know which nvidia driver you are using? nouveau or
nvidia's official one?
