OK, then please start Tails, set an administration password, open
a Root Terminal, run this command in there:

  journalctl -f

… and record a movie of that window around the time when the "hogging
down to a halt" happens.

This sounds like a memory leak or a kernel/driver bug to me. But we'll
only know once you manage to provide more debugging info, sorry!
