Subject: [gentoo-user] vm still grinding away at compiling webkitgtk-2.14.2

1 An emerge of webkitgtk-2.14.2 has been running for over 2hrs. I
2 wonder if I am starving my vbox vm of gentoo with 3GB or ram.
3
4 Top's cpu usage is fluxuating between 45% and 99% during this compile
5
6 Portage pulling 99% by itself at times.
7
8 I thought 3GB was a bit high for a vm compared to what I've given debian
9 vms... can anyone give some guidance about how much ram to allow a
10 gentoo vm in Vbox?

12 I'm on a windows 10 host with 32 GB ram but running a number of vms.
