Well, you seems to have a lot of tabs open both in Firefox and Chrome. IIRC you have to add the tmpfs data (e.g. from 'df -ht tmpfs --out=used') to the numbers in the RES column of top, and then you'll see that 4G - see c) - of RAM are not enough to run both FF+Chrome ... you won't have fun with that setup (at least you'll get into that situation more often).
It is not as simple as that. Yes, memory is scarce, but I can¡t add more. The machine can run very well with that load and even more for many hours, maybe waiting a second when switching programs, but never stalling. But since I upgraded to 15.0 a few weeks ago, I got this problem. And it is firefox the culprit. It worked fine for a while, and it stalled long after I stopped using it and the screensavver had kicked in. Something in firefox causes swap to trash that did not before, with the same amount of tabs or even more. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
