I uninstalled Kaspersky, went back to Windows Defender, and now everything seems to be smooth. Applications are responding faster, and RAM usage is not going above 52% anymore. With KSC Free it's normally in the range of 69-75% RAM usage in total with 4 applications running.

Not sure if Kaspersky would perform better if there was an external graphic card.

Try voodoo shield if defender takes too much performance impact.
Other low end security solutions .
Include OS Armour ,Comodo Firewall Cruel Settings,wise vector stopX etc.
And graphics card won't help.
But more RAM/SSD can help .
But personally for your usage specs are good enough as long as you ditch a signature based AV.
Since the Signatures are saved in memory .
