Apparently reducing the swappiness didn't help. My system is currently hopelessly locked (and I'm writing this on another device on my desk). I'm ssh'ed into my netbook and running `iotop -a`. Here are the top two items:

    1 be/4 root 10.34 M 0.00 B ?unavailable? init
   33 be/4 root 16.00 K 340.00 K ?unavailable? [kswapd0]

The init read numbers keep going up (currently 10.86 MB) and the kswapd write numbers are going up as well.
