Gambit ran just fine in a 1 MB Amiga (once the library changes were made), so 
it should do well with four times the memory!

I probably should refrain from repeating Perlis' quip about some things being 
an improvement over their successors. 8^}.  

[NB: with reference to the Amiga which booted from a 256KB EPROM with a 
real-time kernel and window system -- NOT to Gambit's newer and improving 
releases!].

Cheers,
