Currently I have 4Mb ramdisk for compiler temporals and 8Mb of cache.
But it won't help when ld or cc1plus will try to use more than 28Mb
of memory because I'll get a swap (swap files can be only in real
disks). In fact I was forced to enlarge the cc1plus and ld stacks to
2Mb (if I remmember well) so they have 26Mb discounting 1Mb of code
lets around 25Mb .... not enough because it will swap a lot. Using
this EMM386 I get 52Mb of XMS letting 45Mb for the data ... I hope it
will avoid most of the swap ;-)
