Arm64 is a bigger leap than expected. Despite having the same amount of RAM, FreeBSD has a much larger "maximum recommended swap space" for an RPI3. This helps with using bigger -jN figures. But head seems to currently have multiple issues with USB and with arm64/aarch64 from what I've been reading. (There are USB problems on other than just arm64/aarch64, if I understand right, not necessarily the same ones as some arm64's have had for a while.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( markmi at dsl-only.net is going away in 2018-Feb, late)
