Comment on GPU prices are coming to earth just as RAM costs shoot into the stratosphere - Ars Technica
jeena@piefed.jeena.net 6 days agoTwo browsers full of tabs but that is not a problem, but once I start compiling AOSP (which I sometimes want to do for work at home instead in the cloud because it’s easier and faster to debugg) then it eats up all the RAM imediatelly and I have to give it 40 more GB or swap and then this swapping is the bottleneck. Once that is running the computer can’t really do anything else, even the browser struggles.

Have you tried just compiling it with fewer threads? Would almost certainly reduce the RAM usage, and might even make the compile go faster if it you’re needing to swap that heavily

Yeah that’s what I’m doing but I played for the fast CPU and can’t make it the bottleneck ^^
