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

Did you compare image size after? Is that being influenced by the memory parameter?
