True. However, I do think that some of the OOMs that beefcake has seen are because it has relatively little RAM per CPU core (31GiB / 16 cores = <2GiB per core). And so all the things that scale out to take advantage of all of the CPU cores hit RAM limits that they wouldn't hit on a box with the same RAM but fewer CPUs. The zstd -T0 flag means to create a thread per core. -- Happy hacking, ~ Luke T.
