Hi Aaron, Occasional lockups for me are almost always related to lack of memory. Can you describe what/how many Activities you usually have running? The two that catch me out more often are Read and Browse: - Read; it depends on the complexity of the PDF, but it (evince) is having to rasterize pages as you scroll and zoom about – a good example is trying to zoom way in on the pdf world maps provided in the default installed library, you'll soon run out of memory. - Browse; Sites with heavy flash are very bad (that why it's a REALY GOOD IDEA not to disable that magic CSS tweak that does the 'click to flash' trick, actually I started using a similar flash blocker on my main machine and life is a lot smoother). Obviously very long, complicated pages can also cause memory issues, a good example is using Google Reader, it works well for about 15min of my usual reading habit before I'm in danger of a lockup.
