I don't know what spidermonkey jobs may grow up to, but drop it down to '-j1' and see what you get. A swapfile which you enable on a per ebuild basis if required, can be handy. You can configure this in a package.profile file. On an ext4 fs you could do this as root: touch swapfile dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=4096 count=400000 mkswap -L Swappage swapfile swapon swapfile If it is a btrfs you'll need to tweak things to be able to used it as a swap: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Swap#Swap_file
