little swapping --> more swapping --> oom killer. The question is what processes are growing at that time. And how much the kernel is paging out to swap before starting to OOM-kill; e.g. if the system has 2G of RAM but 16G of swap, then it would probably take a loooong time (for slow swap reading/writing compared to RAM) until the kernel starts OOM-killing. I don't say that OOM is good in general, but - unless it kills the wrong process - it will make the system responsive again. Well, I think this all has been discussed here 100 times already.
