Memory congestion or paging/swapping can seem to slow a system by 50x or
more.
Congestion caused by backed-up disk writes can be helped with noatime.
Programs actively touching amounts of virtual memory greater than
physical RAM can also be a problem.
A recent penguin system with 8GB of RAM appeared to hang when
more than 10 Firefox windows were open.
top reported RAM full and 7GB of swap space in use.
Closing 6 windows cleared the problem.
If you can get top running in a terminal window the memory display
near the top of the screen shows RAM and swap usage.
