My bad, you are right.  Also, memory usage shoudn't be a problem.  gzip
uses way less (testd on ungoogled chromium, I get ~16kb peak heap size
for gzip, 8Mb for zstd and 32Mb for lzip), but I'd expect guix to be
running on systems with more than 8Mb of memory.  Just for reference,
here's the memory profiling script
