dbcache was set to 3000. I don't think I saw the process use anywhere close to that much memory, but I'll look more closely next time.
Is dbcache only for the UTXO set? Is it for reads or writes?

Increase the size of the dbcache by starting Bitcoin Core with the -dbcache= is the amount of RAM in MB that you want to dedicate to the database cache. Increasing this will reduce the amount of disk IO that is done as the database will be flushed less frequently. A dbcache of ~6000 should allow the entire database cache to be held in memory so only on flush is required.
I have Bitcoin Core in prune mode.
I've launched it after one offline day, and syncing really grinds the HDD and barely progresses. It's doing something like 1 block per minute.
In the chainstate directory only 250MB of files were touched, so writes are easily cacheable.
Is there a way to get write caching?
