I'm up for it. Tor badly estimate the limit for the OOM :S...
Big relays probably have huge amount of RAM (total) like 32 or 64GB so
this would mean a limit of 12GB or 25GB with `0.4` which possibly is way
over estimated anyway.
For a 2GB relay, it would be 800MB. I think 1GB or even 1.2GB would be
better but it is a good start.
We could also do that computation than look at the "Available memory" and
if it is lower than our estimation, we adjust without going below the
minimum. But that can back fire if the machine uses lots of memory and a
minute later frees half of it, tor wouldn't adapt unless we make that a
moving target.
