I don't know what exactly Konversation does when the disk gets full, but it is not pretty. (I know it was full because I was just in the process of trying to free some space when this occurred.)

It was quite strange: KWin was perfectly responsive, I could move windows around and all, but none of the actual apps themselves would even redraw themselves, they were just black boxes with a titlebar. Accompanied by a whole lot of disk activity, which may or may not have been swapping, but my bet would be not. I sat there for a while waiting for ksysguard to open so I could see what happen, until eventually I realized it's not going to, at which point I switched to a different vt and opened top -- which, again, happened without any noticeable slowdown at all. There I saw konvi using 100% CPU, killed it, switched back to X, and everything was perfect again.

This is just speculation, but I suspect it may have to do with logging.
