Yes it's normal, you'd rather have cpu @ 5% and spend 10hours to compile something ?
The swap is used when you're out of RAM. It's normal too.

Hi, watched the system when it compiled, processor @ 99-100%, RAM ~20%, is this normal? Also what is the swap mem for, it used only about 200K, out of 500M.....AMD64 3400+ -march=K8
