and want to speed up the evaluation, you may want to increase the memory limit
to allow workers to cache more data in memory before getting restarted by
nix-eval-jobs.
Note that this is not a hard limit and memory usage may rise above the limit momentarily
before the worker process exits.
Overall, tuning these options can help you optimize the performance and memory
usage of nix-eval-jobs to better fit your system and evaluation needs.
