Linking can consume huge amount of memory, especially for C++ code. For a large project 8GB might be very low. On our codebase we saw huge differences between 16GB machines and 24GB machines as the 16GB could not run some linking steps in parallel without swapping. Does Chromium build use LTO (I'm pretty sure FF does)? That's also a huge resource sink a doesn't parallelize as well (a lot of the optimization will be delayed to linking) |
