I wrote up a bash script (Yes!) to do cpu speed control. As a script, it has no external dependancies. The only requirements are that the CPU supports frequency scaling, and that the appropriate CPU governors are compiled into the kernel. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

That is apparently not the case today. Interesting thoughts. First, cpufreq-set seems to be not available on gentoo anymore. Doesn't matter, just giving it a try. It came out, that all build times have nearly the same sys times but the user and real times vary. Funny, this is a two CPU machine but the build with -j1 consumes the least user time. Just the real value gives the same pattern than on the site.

I assume you have 2 cores on your cpu and you're adding 1 as per the ancient rule. That may not be the best option anyways. See https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2013/01/14/makeopts-jcore-1-is-not-the-best-optimization/ The author of the blog post ran multiple tests, and concluded that setting MAKEOPTS -j to the actual number of cores is slightly faster.

A wide variety of places to look at:: ebuild kernel userland I'd suggest you start with reading up on 'jemalloc' as a place to start. Hopefully other will 'chime in' on debugging/controlling memory constrained systems and large memory requirements on older/limited resources. hth, James
