Nothing significant about #21 in particular. The thrashing procs are whichever 
ones handle the virtual disks for a qube that's thrashing.

System is a core i3 with 16GB RAM, and HD with about 100MB/s throughput.

Worst problems seem to be from swapping, and random times when I start a qube.

The swapping is unpredictable, but here's a typical best-case result for 
starting an ordinary app qube with fedora-28 template:
T+0: start qube. Brief burst of CPU & disk activity for a second, then mostly 
idle for 20 seconds.
T+20: heavy sustained disk thrashing starts.
T+40: pop-up notification that the domain has started. Thrashing continues.
T+60: thrashing abruptly stops.
That's only 1 minute, but when I'm unlucky, it can be several minutes.

How does that compare with your experience?

I don't have anything custom configured to run in the qube at startup, so all 
the activity is from the template's defaults. Nothing special about fedora-28 
either; I get similar results from debian-9 and whonix-ws.
