Same problem. This was terrible. I was waiting 4 hours while my PC went back into normal. I was in risk of loosing important data, so I could not reboot and running Windows 7 virtual machine caused the freeze (I didnt realise I dont have enough RAM, but SWAP was empty). When PC went back into normal state, Windows 7 BSODed but Ubuntu was still alive. It was still extremely laggy. I opened up system monitor to see whats going on: SWAP was 50% full and RAM also 50% full. There was a huge disk activity because swap was unloading (I think it was transfering data to RAM).
I hope this will get fixed soon. Whats weird I did not expect these problems on 32 bit version of Ubuntu. I also had RAM and swap full but everything went just OK.
Sorry for my English if anything is wrong. I also have a question if there is any reason why swap should be encrypted? Isnt it like encrypting RAM?
