I've run into that on occasion on old hardware. You can use Antix instead,
or you can tweak the swapfile settings to make it a lot less eager to swap,
by adding these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf:
vm.swappiness=1
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=200
A big problem with using a distro as old as Stretch is, you can't run a
current browser. I think Firefox 78 is the newest that will run on Stretch,
at least in my experience. So as time goes on, it'll be less and less
functional online.
