Am I understanding this correctly?!

If the end product is supposed to be less than 5MB, I have a hard time 
believing that a compile could ever need more than, say, 50MB hd at any 
moment. That's ten times the binary.

You're surely not seriously suggesting that a compile could need for 
example a gig of hard disk?

(My laptops boast a 20GB hard disk each, evenly split between Linux and 
Windows. (FC4, W2k) I live happily in them, and 10GB for Windows and 
10GB for Fedora seems ample. Sure, I don't use downloaded MP3s, HD-DVDs, 
or whatever; these work laptops are for programming, administration of 
other unixes, company red tape, and statistics and databases. Heh,and D 
NG r/w.)

OTOH, of course, some outlandish template stuff might need amazing 
amounts of memory, but we're talking hard disk here.
