thrashing
Thrashing is an occurrence in computing when a system's resources are overused, leading to a significant decrease in performance. It typically happens when a system is trying to execute too many tasks at once and becomes overloaded, causing a constant state of paging or swapping data between the RAM and the hard drive. This results in sluggish response times, constant hard drive activity and excessive CPU usage.

Thrashing
In computer science, thrashing occurs when a computer's virtual memory subsystem is in a constant state of paging, rapidly exchanging data in memory for data on disk, to the exclusion of most application-level processing. This causes the performance of the computer to degrade or collapse. The situation may continue indefinitely until the underlying cause is addressed.
