I noticed the same thing with mine. It used a LOT of ram. I have 4Gbs
and it was up to about 3Gbs at one point and using some swap as well.
I'm hoping to max out to 16Gbs as soon as I can. May upgrade to a 6 core
CPU too.
I wonder how much faster it would be if the work directory is put on
tmpfs? With 16Gbs, that should work even for OOo.
Btw, if you're using more instances than the amount of CPUs, the
result will be slow-down.
With the default kernel scheduler, best if amount of CPUs + 1. (On a
4-core, that's -j5).
I just used -j with no number. It worked fine and I played Solitaire
and checked my email while it was running. The only thing I noticed was
it using swap. That could slow things down but otherwise, it worked fine.
I do have the nice and ionice settings in make.conf tho. That helps a
lot for sure. Without those, it would likely slow down a lot.
