Thats not too much RAM, although the processor would not complain.
What is the amount of SWAP space you created?

Thats all right. You need not worry about it. I would recommend you to
refer to /etc/defaults/make.conf and disable all thoes sections of the
base tree (for example bind, sendmail and a few other in my case)
which you dont intend to use. Also turn of Profiled libraries as they
are not required by a non developer. Also make sure you use the
correct CFLAGS and the processor type. But don't tighten the screw too
much ;-)
