Werd.
The important thing is that tempfs works. For those that are annoyed
at the thought of having to create a large swap partition, remember
that you don't have to! You can create a temporary swap file,
instructions have been around for a long time now (unfortunately I
don't know them offhand, but I'd bet they're somewhere in the wiki).
Performance-wise, 99% of the time spent compiling large programs is a
part of the actual compilation process and has nothing to do with the
overhead in cast. If you are fed up with compile times, maybe you
should go back to a binary distro - it's an inherent problem with using
the source.
