David,
I had a IIsi with 5MB of RAM (now it's 9MB). The last time I compiled the
kernel (clean build) with only 5MB, it took almost two days! There was a 
very large amount of swapping going on. I was using a rather old hard drive,
(slow step rate) but I don't expect to be much different with a newer one.

Shortly after this experience I upgraded to 9MB.
