latest 124.0.2 causing severe problems, it will near instantly bloat to fill all RAM and SWAP even in safe mode causes system load over 24! only solution is to reboot very problematic on for ex: https://epg.pw/xmltv/epg_CA.xml hard to get a screencap since system is nearly totally unresponsive. RAM is ok SSD is ok MX Linux is ok

The XML viewer can use a lot of memory for large files (Bug 291643). The file in your example is 5.7MB which is considerable, it takes a while to load and the content process settles at 2GB.

If you don't have enough RAM, the system will experience disk thrashing and become unresponsive. You can recover by killing the process with highest memory with Alt+SysRq+F if you have process signalling enabled.
