Yes, that step is pretty resource-intensive. >From your description, it sounds like Rakudo could use a little more memory during compilation. On my computer, that compile step takes about 3 minutes, and sucks up about 750 MB of RAM. My guess is that you have less than that free when you're building Rakudo. // Carl
