Mine stays very responsive until it runs out of memory. Once it starts |
| 24 |
using swap, it gets slow. Things still work but it requires a lot of |
| 25 |
patience. Here are some more of my settings: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
PORTAGE_NICENESS=5 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c 3 -p \${PID}" |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
MAKEOPTS="-j8" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'll most likely upgrade the ram first. That's the thing that I know is |
| 34 |
running out. The CPU is just a matter of those occasions when more |
| 35 |
cores could/might be useful, which may be a lot or may not. |

One just always drools over the latest greatest stuff tho. ;-) |
