As a followup -

- The machine in question is a 4 core I5 - a rather older one
- The build disk is a fairly recent (1 yo ish) ssd
- It has 8G of memory, but htop shows  no memory starvation  or use of swap
- HOWEVER, htop is reporting a load average of almost 14 (!) but I am specifying -j4 on the make line

Have buildworld  and buildkern suddenly decided to ignore the -j4 and launch tons of parallel processes?

Ideas anyone?
