I was building everything manually since the script failed. That also did not work. So trying ./install.sh again without sudo

./install.sh --prefix=$HOME/libbitcoin --build-boost --build-secp256k1 --disable-shared

Why does boost default to 1.89.0 though?

Yes, the sync is intended to be fast. If you want it to be slow you can reduce the thread count and/or priority. It will use whatever resources the OS gives it. It's the job of the OS to keep the computer responsive, not applications running on the computer.
