It seems that zram mitigates the problem for me during a work day. As long as 
the system doesn't have to write swap to the disk, it seems fine. The longer I 
use the system, the sooner it is running out of (z)ram and swapping also to 
disk. As soon as this happens, I get these freezes again. I have the feeling, 
that the amount of swapped out data that is swapped at once is causing this. 
Seems like I/O is blocking to me.
I have the impression with a previous kernel, the blocks have been smaller so 
the system didn't block too long so it didn't really interrupt work.
