Another observation is that when I try to disable swap when the system becomes so slow,
sudo swapoff -a
It fails, and gives an error like" Cannot allocate memory".

I'm wondering if this is related to xorg or intel video driver.
When the memory is occupied,

cat /proc/dri/0/gem_objects

shows more than 1G object bytes.

I remember last year, there was a serious memory leakage in intel video driver. But I'm not sure if it's the same bug.
