Nothing typically source code or > linkage related. So an AUR build goes quicker, but swaps a lot, and grinds almost to a halt? By quicker, do you mean it makes quicker progress before the swap-grinding occurs? > Any ideas? Watching `dstat -pcdngsy' would show if many processes are in the run queue, whether it's CPU bound or waiting for I/O, the amount of paging it's doing, and how much swap is used. Is it possible you haven't disabled the `-j', e.g. `MAKEFLAGS' in /etc/makepkg.conf? -- Cheers, Ralph.
