That is probably being cause by your use of swap space, not an OOM issue. I've had multiple cases of the OOM killer kicking off on my system, all without it slowing way down.
- rcxdude 7y agoLacking swap space causes more severe symptoms in an OOM situation, not less, from my experience. I think this is because everything that can get evicted from RAM is before the OOM killer gets invoked, which means every disk access slows to a crawl.
- Avamander 7y agoNo. This happens even without swap, OOM killer might as well not exist.
