I'm not sure about this. Reason: The OS provides why to set a max for memory usage for a process. Why "duplicate" that in Pony runtime? I do like "once...

I'm probably not going to have a chance to perf test this for a couple weeks. Sorry for the slow pace.

@dipinhora when you have time, can you run the overload program with the existing implementation and give an idea of where memory generally stabilizes across several local runs and then...

@dipinhora can you give me different settings that you think would be important to use across however many different variations I test?

I can see this is going to take a while to review.

this needs a rebase btw
