For some reason, generating the Ruby docs requires a lot of RAM, and  
will do poorly (ie, swap a lot) if the machine it is running on  
doesn't have ~ 512MB or more RAM [1].  I believe you can do a "make  
config" in the ruby ports dir and disable the creation of the Ruby  
docs which ought to help....
