The fun begins when, as I said, I type in a spelling error with the automatic checker on, then right-click. Memory goes up to 555 MB before everything freezes, and the disk drive keeps whirring until I hit the power button.
I think it will be okay if I remember not to spellcheck. It would be nice to have that luxury, though.
You should not be hitting the power button. You can hear and see the system working, but it just doesn't have enough memory to do it quickly.
When you see something like this happen again, wait a few minutes for it to finish. Even with journaled filesystems, you should avoid hitting the power or reset buttons or you might get corrupted or lost files.
