Comment 192 for bug 131094

I experience this bug whenever the system hits my swap memory in Jaunty. I have 4GB of RAM and 4GB of swap and I'm using ext4 with default delayed allocation so I shouldn't be running into ext3 fsync problems. The desktop normally responds 'reasonably' fast, but if I (eg) try loading two 1.8GB VMs in VirtualBox, once the system hits swap the desktop stops responding *completely* (both times I tried this I gave up after 15 minutes and hard reset the PC) apart from jerky mouse cursor movements.
