Hi, I can reproduce this by doing a mkimage on a large destination file image. it looks like it causes all the desktop processes to get paged out whilst it's doing so, and then the whole UI freezes until it catches up. I'll poke alc and others to see if I can figure out how to trace what's going on. eg, are we running out of free pages and instead of waiting, deciding we're okay just paging out binaries/libraries so we can issue more dirty write io.. -a
