How to change session suspend time in RStudio server

Question

RSutdio-server installation behaves as follows:

1. Whenever working as usual, leave the web client unattended for some time (not sure but maybe around 1-2 hours?)
2. After pause, click anything to get a notification "Resuming R session..."
3. /usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rsession -u username grows back from ~120MB to proper size (usually not less than 11GB which is how I left it), but it takes 5 times slower than reading CSV in my desktop.
4. After success, RStudio usually gets responsive

How can I change the time after RStudio server sleeps ?

Also, I don't understand why it takes 3 times slower to read a big CSV on my university server as compared to my laptop. They have 24 Intel Xeon cores and 256GB RAM. I have i5 and 12GB RAM.

Thanks!
