you don't tell us what CPU you have. What is the normal compiletime for you?
With make -j, the compile will get into heavy swapping and may get a
horrible factor slower. So I guess that a normal compile for you may take 10
minutes, while under swapping it may be a factor 100 slower and so may take
perhaps 1000 minutes (14 hours)

Bye
