Bitcore Sync is Extremely Slow (Several days block 310,000) on 8GB Dual Core Ubuntu

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I know it's a general question -- but it seems extremely slow to sync and I'm not sure where the bottleneck is.

I have even installed and compiled secp256k1-node

I have a fully synced bitcoind node and yet it goes very slow. I see this in the logs:

attilaaf did you managed to solve this problem? The same issue, I running bitcore node on Ubuntu 18.04, Core i7 3770 not SSD HDD. I'm at 233000 block height and the current speed is about 20 blocks per minute... should I use SSD HDD, does it speed up the process?
