Here's my recommendations:

1. Get more RAM.  I have 8Mb in my system and it's barely enough.

2. Leave enough RAM free for go32 to use to prevent paging.

2. Use the rest of the memory for disk cache and/or ramdisk.  I use
most for cache.

Paging will kill you every time if you're not careful.  Rebuilding gcc
itself with -O requires at leasat 4Mb of FREE extended memory to
prevent paging.  I recommend at least 2MB free for small to average
sized source files, an extra 1Mb for -O.
