Yes, for some reason generating the Ruby documentation takes a great deal of 
RAM, and may run very slowly on machines without enough of it.  There is 
probably an option in the ports' Makefile to disable building the docs; check 
pkg-mesg...?

You might also consider adding more RAM to the system in question; it will 
help performance for other tasks.
