Take out memory to speed up kernel build!?

I'm developing an ethernet driver for a new ethernet card under
SCO Unix System V/386.
I've got 4 megs of RAM, and the command /etc/conf/cf.d/link_unix
takes about 7.5 minutes.
When my back was turned the other day, one of our QC people
stole my memory card, leaving me with only 2 meg.
Guess what? My kernel build now takes only 5 minutes!
I thought some people might find this amusing.
