Problem is affecting my system. It gets to the point where the system starts 
thrashing so badly I care barely get to the console and log in to start killing 
processes.
 
Ubuntu 20.04
gnome-shell 3.36.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.2


Linux 5.4.0-91-generic (cherna)         01/08/2022      _x86_64_        (8 CPU)
root@cherna:~# pidstat -l -r
03:19:46 PM   UID       PID  minflt/s  majflt/s     VSZ     RSS   %MEM  Command
03:19:46 PM  1000      4670     99.93      0.17 7408772 2029368  12.77  
/usr/bin/gnome-shell 

At least I can ALT-F2 & "r" to recover some RAM. If I notice the problem
in time....
