Wow, that's extreme. I compiled PyKDE on a Centrino 1.4 GHz in less then 30 Minutes having only 512 Megs Ram (and 700 Swap), while actually running KDE, including amarok (which is for a music player quite cpu-hungry) and writing some mails (in a xfce4-terminal, which is also quite cpu-intensive). As I said, the system slowed down really good but there were still at least 30 Megs Ram unused and I don't think that any swap got used for that. Oh that's the concatenated version of PyKDE I'm talking about, the non-concat version is taking about double or tripple the time, but uses much less memory.
