Here is what smemstat reports for one of the spinning processes:

25375     0.0 B    11.0 M    12.5 M    19.1 M phablet    /usr/lib/arm-
linux-gnueabihf/thumbnailer/vs-thumb

That's while the process is eating around 110% CPU. So, swap doesn't
seem to be the issue.

After running kill -9 25375, top continues to show the process as
running, still using 110% CPU, and the wait in the script doesn't
return. However, running smemstat again after sending the SIGKILL no
longer produces any output. It looks like smemstat thinks the process
isn't there anymore (even though top continues to show it).

Then, 30 seconds after having sent the kill, the process finally
terminates.
