I suspect that you are experiencing some paging activity.  Does top show
that any of your swap is in use?  You probably don't have enough memory to
fit a parallelized buildworld, all the files that it touches, mozilla
(60MB on my machine), Xwindows (Another 60mb on my machine), and your
window manager, which if you're using kde, is probably at least another
60mb.
