With synth you can reduce the number of workers to just "1" (ie: Number_of_builders=1), if you just want your ports-build to complete without any stress. However, one of the reasons why I use synth is _because_ of the stress it can place on my 12-STABLE snapshots. If the system is stable and performs well when under load, I feel just that bit more assured about using it in production environments.
