 we are working on a Sun-Blade-1000 with 4GB ram+20GB swap space. So far 
 as I remember, memory consumption of the compiler process was around 
 only 100MB. Meanwhile we modified our code generator essentially, so 
 that the function are generated much more smaller now. Nevertheless 
 should large functions be compiled properly or at least be refused with 
 an appropriate error message.
