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.
