Don't forget that lowering the second number is increasing the amount of
garbage you have in old space.  If you set it real low, then you will
actually have to run full GC's every once in a while.  In normal usage,
with the default parameters, full GC's just don't happen aside from
snapshots.  That's pretty nice....

FWIW, I just checked, and I had 5MB of garbage accumulated in old space
in my Celeste-using image.  (You can do this by checking "vm statistics"
before and after doing "space left" to force a garbage collect.)
