Hi all,

I had two random freezes too. One after a screenlock and the second one
during using Chromium. The second freeze wasn't a complete one. Mouse
moves were delayed approx. 30s and were very stuttering. I only could do
a hard reset.

I noticed, that despite my memory isn't used completly (3GB/4GB) 50% of
my swap space are used. Further I see chromium uses a lot of swap space
(approx. 450MB). I don't know if this is an indication of the problem. I
never checked the usage of swap before.

My setup:
i3 4.12
py3status 3.1rc0
Chromium 53
xautolock 2.2



Regards
Ludwig
