That has 256MB of memory.

I have just tested with a plain old Pentium 166 machine that has
64MB of memory:

		GENERIC
With -pipe:	  45:36
Without -pipe:	1:13:48

Obviously, -pipe was effective on a slow machine as well.

One thing interesting here is, with -pipe swap size grew up to 10MB
during build, while without -pipe no swapping occurred.

Why don't you just mount /var/tmp as MFS?
