I have switched to epsilon.  one of the nice features jumping to the dos
shell (push).  In most applications this leaves you with most of your
memory hogged by the editor (or whatever), but epsilon shrinks itself
down to about 5k bytes.  This leaves plenty of room to run your super
mongo compiler with mega make.  when done you just exit back to epsilon.
(I have a batch file to run epsilon if it is not running, exit  back to 
it if it is.)
