I have not encountered situations where the system becomes irresponsive due to lack of memory, compared to what happened in the XO-1. For the XO-1 I go as far as saying that it isn't usable with more than two apps open, especially if it's a browser. Swap memory makes a huge difference and, though slow, the laptop can perform most tasks one requires it to - except for stuff that wants to actually allocate more than 200MiB for working data.
