Is it swapping?
Good call, but only some - I'm pretty sure it's not to the point of
thrashing. Even so, with if I had enough RAM to totally avoid
swapping, I don't think chromium would drop by a factor of 5 or 6. (I
don't generally sit and watch - I generally try to emerge chromium
overnight.) However, the few times I've been trying to use the system
while chromium compiles, it's been slow, but not totally unresponsive.
In addition - I think the huge memory use is only for a small part of
the total chromium compile.
