Comment (by vbraun):
I'm sure you can improve on `available_ram()` but its good enough for
starting GAP, I think. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
For libGAP the pool is actually in the Sage process, so what Jeroen
suggests would be a bad idea.
Also, I don't think the user's intention when setting `ulimit -v` was for
Sage to spawn a couple of processes that each try to get as close as
possible to the limit.
