> See bug for discussion. This is the code change, which is simple. What is not simple is deciding what the new value should be. The change would probably require CSR, which I can file after we agree on the value.
> 
> I think cutting to 0.2% of RAM size gets us into good sweet spot:
>  - On huge 1024G machine, this yields 2G initial heap
>  - On reasonably sized 128G machine, this gives 256M initial heap
>  - On smaller 1G container, this gives 2M initial heap
> 
> Additional testing:
>  - [x] Linux AArch64 server fastdebug, `all`
