`IOAccelResidentMemorySet` is a list of blocks of wired system memory. Wired memory can't be paged out (unless it's unwired first). There are limits on how much system memory you can have wired at any given time -- both per application and system wide. Running out of wired system memory is not the same thing as running out of system memory altogether.

My current hunch is that this bug is triggered by running out of wired system memory. If so, it's probably not related to bug 1583922.

Eric and Sorin, do you see anything like the long lags reported at bug 1583922?
