Yeah good point, it wasn't.
I ran 4 make -j kernel builds in parallel which seemed to do the trick:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4053952 4038324 15628 344 2880 26932
-/+ buffers/cache: 4008512 45440
Swap: 7918588 6102800 1815788
Of course it went OOM not long after that, but it's still pinging and it's
running fine, just spending all its time printing the OOM kill info to the
console.
cheers
