Quartus II Compiler Speed?

I am re-compiling nios II "Full Featured" reference design for Altera C12 Ev. Kit on a Dell 2.4GHz P4 CPU. It took 40 min. with only 40% done. Is this normal? Thanks

Yes, 512 MB RAM is the minimum. With 512MB, the "Full featured" design (7371 LEs) finished in 34 min. I noticed that no more swapping btw RAM and HD. The HD light was constant blinking before.
