I do something similar.  486 at 120MHz (some funny overdrive thing) with
16MB of RAM.  I don't think it swaps *that* much, but I haven't really
monitored it carefully.  Buildworld used to take about 20 hours, but
about the time of the malloc change to AJ default it shot up, even with
/etc/malloc.conf -> j (well, Hj actually, but it was the same with just
j I think).  I'm not sure why, but it doesn't really bother me much.
