That just doesn't make any sense. You can't even build a computer with 16 cores and 500MB of memory, so why would you have that ratio in production? This whole thread has been completely surreal.

Because the service has no substantial local state so doesn't need any more than that? Should we invent unnecessary local state just so we can use more memory? That sounds considerably more surreal to me.
Or maybe instead we should use all the memory we saved to keep our 200-300GB working set for a different service in RAM colocated, which is what we do...
