Despite having the same amount of RAM, FreeBSD has a much larger
"maximum recommended swap space" for an RPI3. This helps with
using bigger -jN figures.

But head seems to currently have multiple issues with USB and
with arm64/aarch64 from what I've been reading. (There are USB
problems on other than just arm64/aarch64, if I understand
right, not necessarily the same ones as some arm64's have
had for a while.)
