@whitequark @pmarheine @regehr @dotstdy @tedmielczarek I was hoping systemd would have a 'freeze this unit if there is memory pressure' or similar setting, but AFAIK there's nothing for that.
(You can make something not start if there's too much memory pressure, but that doesn't help for 'I started 16 linkers when the memory pressure was low and now they're all making the memory pressure high'.)
Oh well. Systemd doesn't do everything.

@cks @whitequark @pmarheine @regehr @dotstdy the classic GNU Make approach: "don't start any new jobs if the system load average is above this number": https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options-Summary.html#index-_002d_002dload_002daverage-1
