(This is the continuation of a thread about the memory requirements of
job evaluation on Hydra.)
Here’s a run in conditions similar to those of Hydra:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ \time -v guile -l build-aux/hydra/gnu-system.scm -c '(use-modules (guix)) (with-store store (hydra-jobs store (list)))'

;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0

So there’s a peak at 758 MiB, which is arguably too much, but far from
5 GiB.
Each evaluation forces a complete recompilation. However this is
apparently not what takes the most memory:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ \time -v ./pre-inst-env guile -l build-aux/hydra/gnu-system.scm -c '(use-modules (guix)) (with-store store (hydra-jobs store (list)))'

The latter is faster, but uses about as much memory as the
auto-compilation variant.
For reference, loading all the package modules takes around 180 MiB:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ \time -v guix build foobarbaz
guix build: error: foobarbaz: unknown package
Command exited with non-zero status 1

Anyway, we need to do actual heap profiling now. :-)
