even that can be improved upon...use make -j (no limit) to make sure
all your memory is used...in say a 128M system, a kernel compile
will use maybe 64M leaving the other 64 un"tested" even if you compile
for a week...
even in a 512M system, that should touch all of it.
many kerneldevelopers build a few trees in parallel as another way
of beating the system up.
but again, memtest actually goes thru all memory sequentially..
