Okay here's a typical example... Try running Stable-Diffusion, specifically the Automatic1111 version, and merging various checkpoints. On my 32GB PC, after doing a few merges, the linux kernel is beginning to use many GBs of swap. Further attempts at merging checkpoints can result in OOM kicking in. If I can save a GB or two, that can help get those final mergings accomplished. Otherwise, it's a case of restarting the application and continuing from there. An alternative is to keep increasing the available swap space. Mine is at 10GB by default. The problem with that is you can end up waiting for the system to swap stuff in and out, and this can result in system pauses. The other alternative of course is to buy more RAM. And here was me thinking 32GB was a decent amount ;)
