Compiles don't 'leak' memory, because they run as separate programs |
| 6 |
and the system reclaims the memory after each program exits. However, |
| 7 |
don't underestimate the amount of memory that compiling can take. |

Some of those xmame modules required >200MB of memory to build on my |
| 9 |
system with 2G of RAM, and that was with -Os and MAKEOPTS=-j1. Heaven |

help you if you use -O3/-j3 (In fact, for a system with only 512M of |
| 11 |
RAM, -j1 *will* be faster than -j2 when building xmame). |
