yep, typically when your machine goes super slow due to memory you can always drop to a tty ps and kill the process which will bring your machine back to life. A good idea is to have some memory limits, if the kernel thinks it's out of memory it can start killing stuff, when this happens you generally need a reboot. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWKATxAAoJEOYwtpHNe8Fm3DEH/1NmBN4ugTTa5PZWJ2mo5yHA S/XcXe4qH/5BhC4inkAx4EGG2L9fUBi03Kn41qrkHgFfFxOQcWC+OhqJWnkhLl3R YX4ppreQIi3uVqbdrTz2NdwuFmQxbG+yih77M/QqhcafIH6TK76f/RN6LLOYaZpX 6I8o8Xsu5Y4DJHt2NPahlr1U10E9K+7BI6JdQoxljqnDZdk4KD6MTtJMqQ2o9Nrf BtCoC2qRpc2ir1rqZuhZIjWFcl5t51BhzCvlZMggkB+MP2bMVMrctl0BA2PZY1/a Gf2iGoNU02rCykMcSu9koRI4hMIZ2XJalaYuPPqJb95fLD6z37WMPPB4G1Qzs90= =6T6b -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
