On systems that I setup assuming I wouldn’t need swap, I set swappiness low and add a swap file (on ssd if possible) so the bigger builds can at least finish, albeit more slowly. Generally swap never gets touched. I also use zswap with zstd or lz4, which perform better than the old lzo deflate/zlib options, sometimes by a wide margin. I don’t bother with /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs any more as it seemed to be more trouble than it was worth.
