The CPU usage is below 50%, and the RAM usage is 10%, so I don't think it's due to the specs, but it's hard to play the game...

Also note that most game servers are only capable of utilizing a single CPU core. That means that if you have four cores, the highest activity you will see by a game is 25% usage.  7 Days will make good use of Multithreading on Linux, and limited use of it on Windows, but the primary process is still tied to the one core.

I haven't done any testing in several years now, so my knowledge might be a bit skewed, but from my understanding and what I remember being told over the years, single core use isn't quite accurate (at least not for this game). The theory is that the client and probably server can utilize 2 physical cores and benefit from 2 virtual cores as well, so 4 threads total. My guess is OP has a 4 core / 8 thread CPU, which would explain the 50% utilization. If the OP has an ancient 2 core 4 thread cpu, then I stand corrected.

Of course, do correct me if I'm wrong as I may be a bit outdated now.
