Nightly jobs run with -dcore-lint which seriously affects quality of allocations numbers
Cross-post from head.hackage#42 (closed)
Compiling with -dcore-lint skews allocation numbers significantly, to the extent that we are really just benchmarking the speed of core lint rather than anything relevant to the users. (See #20825)
When I build Cabal
locally with HEAD I get 161,723,938,240 bytes allocated but grafana reports > 600GB!, which matches more closely to a number I get when running with -dcore-lint
