On the build farms, memory usage of the =E2=80=98guix publish=E2=80=99 proc=
ess increases
slowly but indefinitely, it seems.

This can be reproduced by starting =E2=80=98guix publish --cache /tmp/cache=
 -C=E2=80=99
and launching =E2=80=98guix weather=E2=80=99, which queries many narinfos, =
thereby
triggering the compression of many store items to /tmp/cache.
