Anyway, compilation on a modern system shouldn't take more than an

Clearly your definition of modern doesn't include my server... :)
Just checked and the last build clocked in at 192 minutes. I need to
make sure I have /var/tmp/portage symlinked back to a non-tmpfs
location whenever I build it or else the system pretty-much dies from
a lack of RAM.
Then I'd say you have your tmpfs mount options configured wrongly :-)
You should specify a maximum amount of RAM it should use. When it fill
up, it then uses swap.
