yes, it is the same desktop, and i open some pdf files and applications
by random. 

but when my desktop eat up to 1.8GB RAM (active_anon + inactive_anon +
isolated_anon = 481342 pages >= 1.8GB), the system became extraordinary
slow. when i move the mouse, the mouse cant move a little on screen. i
deem it have "crashed", but i ping it's ip by other desktop, it is ok.

so what is apect affect the system seem to "crashed", page-writeback?
page-reclaimed?  and the oom-killer seem to be very conservative? in
that condition , oom_killer must kill some process to release memory for
new process.
