    - these use significant /tmp space.
    - either place /tmp on encrypted-cleared-at-boot storage
        - which probably causes each CPU load for the encryption
+    - or have nix builds use a subdir of /tmp like /tmp/nix/...
+        - and place that on non-encrypted clear-on-boot (with very lax writeback/swappiness to minimize writes)
    - **or set up encrypted swap**
        - encrypted swap could remove the need for my encrypted-cleared-at-boot stuff
