I'm running Linux on an 80 Mhz 486 with 8 Megs of memory.  Whenever I
try to run GNU Chess, I make it through about two moves, then my
machine pages like crazy.  I have a hard time even stopping the
program, that's how slow my system gets.

Is there anything I can tweak to improve my performance?  Or does the
program just need more memory than I have?
