With each job taking up to 1.2G of RAM you can quickly exhaust available |
| 46 |
memory on older PCs and swapping can start grinding the box to a halt. Since |
| 47 |
the move to profile 17.0 I found my old laptop comes to its knees on compiling |
| 48 |
larger packages like Chromium. If you also find swapping starts thrashing |
| 49 |
your drive and emerge moves nowhere fast as it becomes I/O bound, you should |
| 50 |
consider reducing the number of jobs with MAKEOPTS="-jX" where X is a lesser |
| 51 |
number than previously used and also reducing the --load-average to a low(er) |
| 52 |
number. |
