It sounds as if the swap was working (as the build took a long time, it =
didn=E2=80=99t run out of memory).  My guess would be that, before the =
reboot, something had wired (or, if not, then touched frequently enough =
to keep it in core) a large chunk of memory, which forced the swapping.  =
Swap files are expected to be slower than swap partitions (though if =
you=E2=80=99re swapping to a disk, the seek times are likely to dominate =
in both cases).

I don=E2=80=99t suppose there=E2=80=99s  capture of the output of top =
from before the reboot?
