Comment:

 Hi @tim-m89,

 Thanks for the report and for looking into this.

 How did you settle on 504k bytes? Was that just a number you tried that
 worked?

 I don't know the code generators very well, so I'm afraid I can't give a
 good estimate without looking into this. But I do agree that 8mb of
 initial committed memory seems rather overkill.

 If the tests for #8870 still pass with the lowered commit space then I
 guess there's no problem lowering it for now.
