Probably. By the way, nothing in my messages should be interpreted to say that Guix's memory usage is acceptable. I am merely trying to help. > Now I have been running out of disk space, but this is another > problem. Please have a look at zram [1] which compresses many of your memory pages and requires no device at all (thus saving valuable disk space), or zswap [2] which compresses your swap pages. The latter reduces the size of your swap partition while keeping the same capacity.
