I filed bug 944842 to have mach report swapping during builds.
Presumably the warning message will include tips on how to address it.
As of inbound just now, `mach build` will now print overall swap
activity at the end of every build (assuming psutil is available).
Is there a prebuilt version of psutil for Windows? The virtualenv
builder appears to be looking for VC9. (At least, it completely fails to
find the compiler that mozillabuild has already selected.)
psutil should build on Windows without VC9 as of bug 910487. You can
read that bug to learn all about the "joys" of binary Python packages on
Windows. We could possibly ship a pre-built psutil "wheel" package as
part of MozillaBuild or allow the build system to fetch one from a
public server. Please file a bug if you really want psutil on Windows
and we'll see what we can do.
However, psutil doesn't report paging on Windows, so the swapping
warning will never display there. I'm not sure if this is a missing
feature from psutil or if the underlying Windows APIs just don't support
reporting paging sufficiently. I apologize for forgetting to mention
this in my last post.
