That's exciting and terrifying!

I've been engineering mallocs under the assumption that virtual memory is free and munmap is never necessary.

Can you tell me about what your virtual memory quotas look like?

For example, if you have a process that uses 50MB on average and 100MB at peak, what virtual memory quota would you be most likely to give it?
