Public bug reported:
For the last day(s) my machine runs Chrome very very slow and sluggish until it
stops reacting at all. I haven't done any changes except of the daily updates
and snap refresh.
What I found out, is that the memory space used is almost immediately the swap
space. Same after cold boot: it starts pretty usual, but soon almost all memory
data seem to be sent into swap space, despite of RAM being available. (See
attachment, taken shortly before total non-reaction. CPU isn't very busy, RAM
is aplenty.)
Swappiness is okay at 60.
I very much suspect Chrome, since when using Firefox, with my (in Chrome) usual
sites, everything looks fine, it doesn't choke, and the swap space used is
almost negligible.
** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "Unusual use of swap space"
