That would be excellent. I just retested the latest version at
http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-psi.git (Linux 4.18) and the
results are great.
Test setup:
Endless OS
GeminiLake N4200 low end laptop
2GB RAM
swap (and zram swap) disabled
Baseline test: open a handful of large-ish apps and several website
tabs in Google Chrome.
Results: after a couple of minutes, system is excessively thrashing,
mouse cursor can barely be moved, UI is not responding to mouse
clicks, so it's impractical to recover from this situation as an
ordinary user
Add my simple killer:
https://gist.github.com/dsd/a8988bf0b81a6163475988120fe8d9cd
Results: when the thrashing causes the UI to become sluggish, the
killer steps in and kills something (usually a chrome tab), and the
system remains usable. I repeatedly opened more apps and more websites
over a 15 minute period but I wasn't able to get the system to a point
of UI unresponsiveness.
Thanks,
Daniel
