The same thing happens to me whenever I compile firefox, for example, because |
| 12 |
memory fills up at one point and the machine starts swapping to disk. When |

the machine starts swapping to disk, I can't use the machine at all for about |

You could (for example) run "vmstat 1" in a second ssh session on the slow |
