I originally imposed this constraint in #411 since it allowed a convenient way to test that tasks never used more memory than projected (see test_mem_utilization.py).
However, on re-running the benchmark in #492 (comment) I saw that the processes never exceeded
allowed_mem
, and also the tests in this PR also check that invariant for a variety of workloads.This also means that we can use
processes
on Python < 3.11.
