My rule of thumb: 2 GB of RAM per logical processor to do a compilation. So 16 
GB of RAM is sufficient for a 4-core system (8 CPUs), but not for 6-core (12 
CPUs).

But this doesn't apply to qtwebengine. That thing has a few VERY big files 
that are concatenation of a lot of small ones and take multiple GB of RAM to 
compile. If you don't need qtwebengine, don't download it and don't build it.
