For example I am building X which at that special moment causes pretty heavy disk load and the system doesn't respond at all. I was using X and was not able to switch consoles or move mouse only extremely sluggish. I have seen that it used more swap that usual. total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 191096 159340 31756 0 10568 94100 -/+ buffers/cache: 54672 136424 Swap: 289160 0 289160 This is how it looks like under normal circumstances and when building X I had 20M in swap usage which seemed quite a lot to me. Maybe I'm just wrong. Unfortunately I was not able to start vmstat, first because I can't start vmstat when system is not responding and second it doesn't work anyway because of your changes.
