14 /// effectively avoids using mmap for all allocations smaller than 32 MiB. Which, in combination
15 /// with the allocation pattern from our/tokio's complex async machinery, resulted in very large
16 /// RSS sizes due to defragmentation and long-living (smaller) allocation on top of the heap

18 /// not an issue with mmap'd memory chunks, those can be given back at any time.
20 /// Lowering effective MMAP threshold to 128 KiB allows freeing up memory to the OS better and with
21 /// lower latency, which reduces the peak *and* average RSS size by an order of magnitude when
22 /// running backup jobs. We measured a reduction by a factor of 10-20 in experiments and see much
23 /// less erratic behavior in the overall's runtime RSS size.
