The only location I am aware of for Colin's freebsd-update-server is
accessible via svnweb.freebsd.org[1].  In terms of the resource utilization
you've described, I've observed similar behavior building content for a
customized 10.0-RELEASE.  I've not taken a deep dive to figure out why, but
the server builds two worlds, kernels, etc.  It appeared make release of
world1 consumed the majority of swap utilized.

A recent build consumed approximately 12GB of swap on a VM with 8 CPUs and
32GB RAM.  I chocked the resource utilization up to the fact that the VM
did not have enough RAM.  Building FreeBSD source, especially multiple
instances of it, is likely to be much more memory intensive than the VM had
in capacity.
