For reasons unrelated to Boost testing, I recently upgraded my machine from 
1 to 3 gigabytes of main memory, and added a second disk drive.

This upgrade really cut disk activity during the Boost tests, to the point I 
now can run the Boost tests during the day without them getting in the way 
of my other work. It also eliminated the time I was spending making sure 
there was enough disk space available.

For my Win32 tests with three compilers, disk space usage is approximately 
12 gigabytes
