Freezes when using google-earth? That's interesting because I noticed freezes when I use google chrome browser. Almost 2 days ago it started freezing (as I mentioned before it doesn't freeze immediately, it takes several minutes to freeze while the symptoms worsen) and I managed to kill Chrome browser before it completely froze. The freezing stopped the system even came back and has been up for almost 2 days since. I haven't used Chrome since that time yet.
Now that I am thinking I was using Chrome every time at the time of freezing. My compiz CPU was going up and IO Wait was taking all available CPU resources. I don't run Google Earth but I can imagine it may use the same libraries under the hood as Chrome.
