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.
