Too many users logged in could also be a factor.

Wait, has it really been running for over a year? That's wild!

Not sure about that, could just be a memory issue instead.

Looks like the system is definitely under CPU pressure.

I recall that too many users logged in can cause performance issues, but I wonder if that's really the main problem here. Option C seems a bit too specific.

I’m not entirely convinced about the reboot option. I think systems can run for a long time without needing a reboot, but I guess it could be an issue if there are memory leaks.

I feel like I've seen questions about memory requirements before. If the system is slow, maybe it really does need more memory, so option D could be a possibility too.

I remember something about CPU pressure being indicated by high load averages. I think option A might be the right choice, but I'm not completely sure.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this question. The Reduce stage is where data processing happens, so I'm going to select the option that makes the most sense based on that.

Hmm, not sure about this one. I'm thinking either B or D, but I'm a bit confused on the difference between the two. Might need to review my notes on time sync settings.
