well we had a Java application that ran to 1.5 million lines of code
(OK, the definition of a 'line of code' is somewhat flexible, but you
get my point), and that would chew up somewhere around 500MB in order to
build (this was about 16 months ago; my memory's hazy on the exact
amount).

luckily only about 30,000 lines of that were hand-written, we built a
code generator to do the rest :)
