All freezes during extraction and checksum stages of port's build

I found something I have never tried before for desktop machine in this wiki :
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SystemTuning
In the sysctl() section, it is writen something about buffer cache :
---
The vfs.write_behind sysctl defaults to 1 (on). This tells the file system to issue media writes as full clusters are collected, which typically occurs when writing large sequential files. The idea is to avoid saturating the buffer cache with dirty buffers when it would not benefit I/O performance. However, this may stall processes and under certain circumstances you may wish to turn it off.

This is something to try for a desktop computer.
