Re: poudriere-devel and tmpfs use by inactive builders: an example

However, it seems that the maximum amount of memory used does not change, regardless of the timing of cleanup.
So, the number of builders should not be too high, and running them without swaps like I do is completely out of the question :)

Regards.
