actually I did not, good idea!

And this is another good idea, thanks!
I tried to reproduce the problem, but so far could not; maybe something
changed, maybe I made a mistake previously. I tried to monitor memory
usage by a very crude "cat /proc/meminfo|head -3"; the minimum values
I saw were around these:
MemTotal: 2024516 kB
MemFree: 31768 kB
MemAvailable: 140064 kB
This happened when building guix-base, which seems to be particularly
memory hungry.
So if I understand correctly, 2GB is about the amount of memory needed
for "guix pull".
Now I have been running out of disk space, but this is another problem.
Andreas
