Here are the two constituent process of a compilation spotted earlier today:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND      
 1897 root      31   0  4224K  4096K STOP   1   0:04 13.32%  7.91% cc1          
 1898 root      -6   0  1616K  1216K STOP   0   0:00  0.00%  0.00% as           

So it looks like a round 6M is required for a '-pipe' enabled compilation.
Thank heavens for lower memory prices! :-)

Absolutely.  My computer is a free software-only zone. :-)
