Scalac Memory Usage

I've been trying to compile the NeHe tutorial for scala (link) and scalac (2.9.0, linux) uses up all my ram and then some. I basically can't compile it.

Why does it use so much ram?

Is there a workaround?

You may want to increase the amount of memory available by setting JAVA_OPTS to -Xmx1024m
