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.
