Depending on your available ram and swap space, you might want to mount |
| 2 |
/var/tmp/portage as tmpfs. My fstab entry shows |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
none /var/tmp/portage tmpfs size=10g,nr_inodes=1m |
| 5 |
|

I have 4GB ram, and the speed benefit especially for open/libre-office is quite |
| 7 |
impressive. |

The advantage is, that it |
| 10 |
a) uses only as much of memory as is really used |
| 11 |
b) you may use mount option -remount to increase the size of the filesystem, |
| 12 |
and add proper swapfiles if you see that you're running out of space (mkswap, |
| 13 |
swapon) |
