Currently runtime keeps hold to 4*used_memory. This includes, in particular, nursery, which can be quite large on multiprocessor machines: 16 CPUs x 64Mb each is 1GB. Multiplying it by 4 means whatever actual memory usage is, runtime will never release memory under 4GB, and this is quite excessive for processes which only need a lot of memory shortly (think building data structures from large files). This diff makes multiplier to apply only to GC-managed memory, leaving all "static" allocations alone.
