Speaking from my own experience 5-6Mb is a kind of a requirement, more is
bliss. If you could create a RAM disk (2-3Mb) for the C++ scratch area
as well as the dump file then you get quite faster compilation times.

If you want to keep MacBrowse and the new SourceBug (soon arriving
on ETO CDs) alive in memory you need more memory.

My former manager tried to use MacApp/C++ with a 2Mb portable, and he
managed to do this as long as he did not use -CPlusLoad, and used 
a minimal System (only Finder). So I guess with careful tuning 
everything is possible...
