Uhm I have a 40-core machine with 256GB of ram at work and I can make it completely unresponsive without taxing either ram or the cpu to 100% - we have a certain computational load that just destroys the CPU<->Ram bandwidth, so cpu usage is about 30-40%, ram sits at 50%, and yet the computer is completely unresponsive. It's exactly the same on both Windows Server and Linux - we're just running into hardware limits.

Interesting. I've been CPU mining on my old IVY bridge and i don't even notice it causing much performance drop. Free coins for me!
