Just for info: A successful make -j4 buildworld using swap (2G) and 
/usr/obj (20G) on an external USB mechanical disk drive on the RPi3B+ 
used a maximum swap of 1130MB in multi-user with almost nothing else 
running apart from my logging script calling top, head, gstat and grep 
every second or two.

Now running a make -j4 buildworld with 2G of swap on a USB memory key 
plugged into a powered USB hub...
