Ahh, that's embarrasing.  My fault.  I was compiling LLVM 3.1 on a 4G
machine, while browsing with many many tabs.  When the link stage
starts, it consumes lots of RAM and forces the system to swap.  I
confirmed the RAM thrashing from a remote top.  I didn't expect
compiling LLVM to use that much RAM.

That's where my mouse movement becomes sluggish and finally freezes.
Flash player either crashes or freezes and cosumes 100% CPU during
swapping.  Killing flash is really not the action which restores the
system.  Only after ld fails, my system becomes responsive again.
