My iMac will randomly freeze, or respond very slowly, to mouse clicks and typing. I get "page unresponsive" often in Chrome, though this is not a Chrome problem since the pasuses happen in every program. The activity monitor shows both low processor and RAM usage. I've reset VRAM, cleared system caches, and uninstalled software. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful App to diagnose and identify issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:

Your Mac has not been backed up in 5 months. Make sure you get your backup going again!
It appears you may have excess volumes on your internal drives. Please go to Disk Utility (Finder > Go > Utilities), and select "View" > "Show All Devices". Select each device (or entry shown), and take a screenshot of it and upload them all here.
Other than that, I do not see anything wrong. Please use DriveDx to check the heath of your Fusion Drive and upload the two reports.

Your Fusion Drive is failing. Create an up-to-date backup, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for service: Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple and Get Support.

This was the issue. Thank you for your time!
