The method described in development(7) (even if it could use an update
by now) may help an _awful_ lot in there ..
I don't even build world/kernel on my notebook's Celeron 560 ... and
actually I wouldn't even dare to do it on an Atom based netbook.
development(7) is really worth a read.

Best Regards
