Hi Chris,
         The VM has 1GB memory. Normally 400-500MB is consumed on Ubuntu ,so I 
think it is enough. Does redhat-based linux need more memory?
         Because I had closed terminal running poky, all process of poky should 
quit.

Hi all,
         When I tried to build image on Fedora and Scientific , I encountered 
same problem that poky consume all memory and then system became very slow. The 
poky process also moved on hardly. After killing poky process, memory wasn’t 
freed. I had noticed that some process like “cc1”  brought up by poky process 
were still alive. Anybody know what’s the problem?

How much memory do you have? I've seen the build process peak at something like 
2.5GB. I started running with a VM that only had 1GB allocated and had the same 
problem as this caused lots of swap file activity. It was mainly the 
compiler/linker that was using most of the memory, which would explain why you 
see 'cc1'. Don't forget that the build process fires off multiple processes.
