I don't know what YOU'RE doing, but I _only_ do C++ development, and my
dx2/66 has always been more than adequate for EMX in this situation.  It
often outperformed the P90 (32MB) that I had at work that ran MSVC (under
NT, mind you).

The first compile would be slow, but I had emxload keeping the compiler in
memory and the next compile would be much faster.  (MSVC was always in
memory!)
