Question about JIT_MAX_MEM flag

[mladen5000]

Hi there and congratulations on the new release.
I was wondering if you had any guidelines for setting the JIT_MAX_MEM env variable. Also I was wondering if it takes a full number or if = '100MB' would work etc.

Thanks for checking us out! Good question, it parses the flag just as an integer, I made the wiki a bit more clear.

Our understanding of the tradeoff is still evolving, but we haven't seen any of our benchmarks come close to the limit. We put the limit in just to avoid pathological cases as well as let people adjust it if they run into an issue; unless you're noticing that Pyston uses a lot more memory than CPython, I'd say it's fine to leave it at the default.
