You will definitely have a significant amount of paging. The chain is 800GB and you have 62GB RAM. All of the blocks are written (as in milestone) and then read (with prevouts) for validation. With enough RAM this goes away entirely, but otherwise it's the tradeoff that allows for concurrent validation.
