(EE) [mi] EQ overflowing. Additional events will be discarded until existing events are processed. - xorg hang

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

I have a few chromium windows open, with some tabs (39 in total) including 2xgmail, twitter, g+ and a few docs. Also about 6 youtube upload windows, uploading a bunch of videos. I walked away from my laptop and now it's almost entirely unresponsive.

If I type my password into lightdm and wait long enough the characters appear one by one over a period of about 10 minutes. But it's basically unusable now. There were some CPU overheating/throttling events leading up to this, but not a lot.
