When trying to build www/chromium on a 1 GB Pi3 the system gets bogged down by five instances of python2.7 running simultaneously. This happens using both poudriere and make.
It wasn't a problem a year ago, so presumably something has changed in chromium's internal build machinery. I've searched https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code and https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev but couldn't find any references to python when compiling, only when running the browser. Is there some way to control how many pythons are loosed at one time? Most likely two could be accomodated, possibly three. On an 8 GB Pi4 the five pythons coexist happily, so the behavior is probably not considered a bug. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska
