How did it go?

I was going through my journal in 8.2-763.  Browse and Paint open, 
accidentally started Read, suddenly the cursor stopped moving and XO 
completely unresponsive.  I assume it's memory, but we never learned how 
to tell.

Over two minutes later the first page of the PDF appeared and *then* 
immediately Sugar restarted.

Just one datapoint.
Yours sincerely,
