Interesting. I have observed something like this on one of my Windows
10 virtual machines. The compilation process stops progressing at
seemingly random points (including once during the R CMD INSTALL
portion of R CMD check) without consuming CPU time. It wasn't obvious
which process was blocked and on what operation (it looked like GNU
Make was stuck, but I didn't investigate in detail); I had to terminate
all related processes and restart the compilation. If you can reliably
reproduce this, try capturing the moment when the compilation process
hangs using Sysinternals Process Monitor (free tool distributed by
Microsoft). Unfortunately, the output is very detailed and needs a lot
of filtering. Attaching to the hanging process (once you figure out
which one is hung) using a debugger may also help, but without the
debugging symbols there's not much to look at.

I also once saw the output in Rtools terminal slowing down to a crawl,
"installing parsed Rd: ..." appearing character by character on the
screen, but that may have been a different problem.
