Reporter, first guess would be amount of memory, or the size of the system
swapfile.  Can you provide details on these for both your laptop and desktop
systems?  What about other things like CPU speed?

Marking invalid due to the lack of response.

Reporter, please reopen this bug if you still see this with a current build, and
provide the details requested above. Thanks!
