Hi,

did you test if this is a hard limit for all threads together? 

If so that would be quite nice because we can use -9 then and it would just go
up to the ceiling of memory usage and then just cap the size of the dictionary
there (that's what I get from the man page).

I think we can even go up to 1GB since that is a minimum each build system
should have. I would really like to see that extra 10-15MB shaven off the ISO
image.

Would you like to send a patch with all of this? I reverted all previous commits
again because the nightly builds failed.

Best,
-Michael
