about 10 MB on my box.

Yep, I don't remeber exact timings, but making web on my Celeron at
1,4 GHz with 512 MB RAM takes about 2 hours with output scrolling in
gnome-terminal with an image as background, and it takes only about 1
h 40 min.

I'd recommend to always redirect "make web" output to a file if you're
concerned with this.
