So go back to the 'top' command and see what is /really/ consuming resources, what is thrashing, what is leaking memory.
Well, as I said, I have one terminal running "top" like this:
top -o RES -b -n 4000 -d 300 > somefile
to log the crash. But tonight, it did not crash. It is working just fine, with the same load that crashed two days in a row.
The only thing I did was uninstall btrfsmaintenance.
Well, no more crashes so far. Go figure. I will watch it, though. Since yesterday night, the machine is running Thunderbird, Firefox, Chrome, and Kodi, no issues. Perfectly responsive with that large load. Less than 3 GB of ram are used by processes, leaving half a gig free, another half for buffers/cache, and half available. This is the normal situation under "load". More than 1 gig of swap used.
