It seems like your right, it does need a lot of memory, always around 3gb.... What do you mean exactly ba parallel build. At least I didn't start one on purpose
Parallel builds are started with "make -j num" where "num" is the number of parallel processes. It can speed up the compilation time, but will multiply the required memory also by a factor "num". This is often a cause of swapping, but it is not your case. If the compilation is exceeding the memory you have available, I suggest trying to compile with the clang compiler, since it requires about half as much memory as GCC.
