Another problem I run into some times is when there is 1 large process
which will not fit into RAM, and so its thrashing. This kills the
interactive response of things like shells, even if you try nicing the
big job. Actually, its been at least a year since I was doing this on
a regular basis, so it may be fixed by now, but it used to be a real
pain.
