What is the issue?

I'm aware this might not be a bug, but I'm trying to understand and figure out if I can and/or should change something. When I try Reflection 70b.

CPU: 8 cores 100% utilization
RAM: 23 of 32 GB in use
GPU: on average 5% utilization
VRAM: 23 of 24 GB in use

I assume the model does not fit in VRAM and therefor the spread across VRAM and RAM, I'm fine with that. But the fact that the CPU seems to be expected to do almost all of the lifting seems odd to me, although it might be normal.

OS

Linux

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

0.3.11
