What browser? Is it only on specific sites? Flash? Heavy Javascript or
even Java? What does top show?

Can you maybe test that on another distro as well? I remember some KDE
4 versions with light hangs, typing would seem slow, but I don't have
that issue anymore. I don't know when it disappeared.

I know, it's not even certain where to file it. KDE? Debian?

My system is in Hebrew, so this is translated:

System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Global keyboard shortcuts
All right, no amount of right-clicking is getting me anywhere. Let's try:
System Settings -> Input and Output
RightClick -> New -> Global Shortcut -> Command
I give it the name "anki", the command "anki", and a shortcut.

It works!

Konqui. Is there any other browser on earth? ;)
And yes, this is true for both KHTML & Webkit.

While some sites seem to trigger it more often, this happens with all
sites.

Not if I can avoid it. I have a shell alias which does a fancy

`killall nspluginviewer`

No idea about JavaScript, no Java. It seems to happen with fancier sites
that have scrollbars, frames, tables inside the page more often.

Nothing I could see as the system is locked up during that time.


Note that this is not limited to Konqui, 'merely' happens with it the
most.

Realistically, no. Unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I used to
have.
We are not talking slight delays, either. More like "5 seconds of total
freeze".

Indeed. As the same thing happens on my very slow laptop as well, it's
not hardware or anything, at least.

Can you try with rekonq or even Firefox? Firefox is a real memory pig.

Try running "top > top.txt". Hopefully that will catch something when
it locks up.

Yeah, I remember those. Nothing but the mouse pointer works (but it
doesn't click)?
