But as it seems after reading Con's reply - this is known problem. So I won't send any vmstat/schedstat outputs unless explicitly requested. Although I agree with Con, that acroread/gecko should be fixed (because in-kernel solution for this problem doesn't exist/is hard to do) some measures should still be implemented kernel-side to at least soften the effects (it's kind of DoS for servers having acroread plugin installed and there might be other apps/ways to trigger this although not known today).
