Depends on how large is the executable.  For large executables, ld might
be the most heavy user of the virtual memory.  Also, for a system like
yours, where there isn't enough RAM to install a disk cache, you should
set BUFFERS (on your CONFIG.SYS) to a sufficiently large value (like, say,
"BUFFERS=40,8"), or else disk operations will be awfully slow; that could
indeed have an adverse effect on the linker which has to scan a lot of
files.
