I think it was just my mistake. This is what I was looking at: GiB Mem : 16.6/2.929 After using 'free', which gives more reasonable output, I think top is reporting a percentage. I never realized that, and it seems unintuitive, given the units it displays, but this is not a Guix issue, just my own mistake in what I was reading.
