You have enough free memory so it's not swapping. >From my system just now: 105M Act, 8072K wired, 15M Exec, 68M File, 2844M Free Swap: 1372M Total, 1372M Free Last week I had too many sysbuild jobs which had my system almost unusable before sysbuild crashed. I've now split sysbuild jobs into four sets to run without swapping on different days. David > -- > Ottavio
