- Garbage collection requires more memory than the actual residency. The

in the standard generation copying collector will usually require 3L bytes of
memory, where L is the amount of live data. This is because by default (see
the RTS :rts-flag:`-F ⟨factor⟩` option) we allow the old generation to grow
to twice its size (2L) before collecting it, and we require additionally L
bytes to copy the live data into. When using compacting collection (see the
