Zulu process consuming too much CPU

A "healthy" quantity of RAM for Ignition yields a sawtooth pattern on the gateway's memory trend (gateway status => Performance) where the regular drop-offs end up somewhat below 50% and the GC event at each peak, typically around 90%, doesn't create a "Clock Drift" warning.

If your trend already looks like this, or better, then more RAM will not help your CPU utilization. If your memory trend is not dropping below 50% after the large peaks, then you might be helped by more RAM.

Also, if your gateway is running anything other than Ignition (like your DB), you should migrate those services to other hardware.
