Comment (by gmorehouse):

 I opened #9686 about the too-high minimum for MaxMemInCellQueues issue.

 I think this particular issue is different (a global maximum RAM usage
 limit) and should be considered due to the utility on single-board
 computers, which could be a cheap way to greatly increase the capacity of
 the Tor network.
