So there is nothing GCC specific when you run GCC. It seems that you are using a parallel make to compile. Then by definition RAM consumption increases. By experience a too big -j option to make will slow down your build. But my current open source project is an inference engine (GPL licensed, on github), called RefPerSys. Contributors are welcome.
