How much memory do you have and what csg limits does it give you?

Hi,

Has anyone upgraded from 4 to 16 gigabytes of DDR and found that they can
process much larger .scad files? Does the memory inflate exponentially or is
there a roughly linear balance in between the number of CGAL functions used
and the memory used?

Can you put a figure, say, "my 16gig pc managed to union 500 spheres with
radius 10 without bugging"
because i can union about 4000 simple 4-20 vertex objects with 4 gigs of
ram, but it tends to crash with 100 vertex spheres if i have 200 of them or
something.
