[yocto] Controlling Bitbake Memory usage under Windows/Virtualbox/Ubuntu platform

[Mark Brown]

I do not see anything in the Bitbake manual for controlling how much memory
Bitbake should consider itself entitled to consume in the 
development platform within which it runs.
 
Running it on //Windows 7 64//i7-2620M//Virtualbox//Ubuntu 14 32-bit//,
I told Virtualbox to allow Ubuntu to use 1.5 GBytes, but Windows Task Manager
indicates the whole Virtualbox/Ubuntu thread is using only 160 MBytes 
-- and is generating approximately 1,000 page faults per second.
 
Perhaps as a result, this Gumstix Overo build has completed only 760 out of 3792
total tasks in 21 hours -- at this rate it will complete in 5-6 days.
 
How does the user terminate Bitbake at its current stage, increase the memory it is using,
and then restart in order to speed up this process ?
