The only thing I can say here is that I've never seen the issue before 
(and thanks to logcheck I certainly would have).
The laptop is in constant use, but I rarely stress the memory like that. 
Swap is almost always at 0.

I would have to make an effort to try and reproduce it, probably by again 
creating some very large images and loading those in konqueror, maybe 
while streaming a movie over wireless or something.

Thanks for your efforts,
FJP
