I don't remember setting it that way, but sure I'll allow your premise.

Yes. Opening more than 1 pdf, or (for example) having chrome open on any normal
computer (simultaneously) seems pretty likely to result in an OOM scenario, in
which Okular would be at fault for causing. Because most debian based linux
distributions (ubuntu et all, I'm getting at user-count on desktop here, not
some other finer detail) compile out the OOMkiller feature from their kernels,
there's nothing a regular user can do but sit while their computer is locked
up. Talk about a horrendous user experience. 

I suppose my wishlist feature is that this become more intelligent, and not
screw over users if it can be avoided.
