Using 5.4.0-17.21-generic, my laptop has 16G of ram. If I launch 3 vms
(xenial desktop (768M), bionic desktop (1.5G) and focal desktop (2.6G))
then load this page: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-
security/oval/com.ubuntu.xenial.cve.oval.xml, at some point while the
page is loading, the desktop interactivity degrades. top tells me I am
swapping 2.5G. (I have other tabs open in firefox of course). Eventually
the system settles down and interactivity is decent again.
