We are always working on reducing Racket's memory use, especially `raco setup'. Meanwhile, I think `raco setup' should limit itself to 4 parallel build processes on a 32-bit machine. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
