I'll try it when I can.
Didn't seem to make much difference to me, when building WebKit without -j2 (I normally use -j2 to ensure it doesn't freeze my Fedora). The desktop becomes super sluggish as soon as it starts using swap. then froze after a couple of minutes when it was at around 5 GiB of swap. If it makes things better, great, but it's no solution.
I also wonder about the I/O scheduler. Ubuntu is using the deadline scheduler because it reportedly is better for interactivity, and that is what we want to optimize Workstation for. Perhaps it handles these situations better. Dunno.
