OOMKiller jumps into action pretty late. I'm on Fedora, thus running the systemd-oomd service, but even with this new service the system will lock up for a minute or two before the greedy process is killed. I think with modern browsers, on memory constrained systems (think 4GB of RAM) this is easier to encounter than in the past. As someone who programs in Haskell from time to time I think I'm more familiar with Linux OOM behavior than most. If someone wants to experience this easily with Haskell just run the following in ghci foldl (+) 1 [1..]
