Running gnome-system-monitor reminded me that I don't have any swap partition on both my machines. I completely forgot about this because this has never been a problem in the last 4 years. :)

They both have 8G of RAM, and so far I have managed to build libreoffice or webkit while simultaneously getting other work done; Firefox and Chrome work; etc..

The 'Resources' tab in gnome-system-monitor showed memory use jump to 7G+ and there was a similar rise in CPU activity. Possibly due to kswapd. Next time (the machine freezes so I can interact while this is going on) I will keep the 'Processes' tab open and see what happens there.

Ok.
