One small correction to my original description. it is not always that
the entire GUI freezes. For instance, in one of my recent tests
ActivityMonitor stopped drawing its graphic but ProcessController's
bars in the Deskbar were still drawing (again, this is with VM off). I
think with VM on I get more pauses and they seem more broad than with
VM off due to paging. That said, I once got a pause that lasted around
5 seconds where not even the mouse pointer moved. This happened exactly
when all my memory was used by the file cache and the page_writer/page_
daemon kicked in.
