See ticket:122 for some numbers that document this problem, and also suggest three likely components of the problem:

  • some important optimizations are not yet implemented for the IA32, causing the compiler and assembler to allocate much more heap storage than on the Sparc;
  • the Sassy assembler probably allocates much more storage than the Sparc assembler anyway;
  • something is probably screwed up; for example, some parts of the compiler and assembler may be running as interpreted code on the IA32 version.
