I've noticed llvm10 takes a long time to build, but 8 GB seems plenty of memory for it. The -J option sounds like the way to go, provided I remember to use it next time. Or I could instead set PARALLEL_JOBS=1 in poudriere.conf but then build performance will suffer for every port, which isn't ideal. But perhaps there's an option to limit make jobs just for a single port, set in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf ? That would be nice.
