11 Good call, but only some - I'm pretty sure it's not to the point of
12 thrashing. Even so, with if I had enough RAM to totally avoid
13 swapping, I don't think chromium would drop by a factor of 5 or 6. (I
14 don't generally sit and watch - I generally try to emerge chromium
15 overnight.) However, the few times I've been trying to use the system
16 while chromium compiles, it's been slow, but not totally unresponsive.
17 In addition - I think the huge memory use is only for a small part of
18 the total chromium compile.
