eighty-megs and constantly swapping. and that's just the editor.

if you look at the apple link i couldn't resist cluttering the list with,
you'll love some of the ways they work around the fact that gcc is slooow.
precompiled headers, speculative compiling (you saved a c file, we'll
compile it now, just in case you might need it), distcc, etc.

that's not to mention the bizzare workarounds to their slow linker.
