You are comparing Apples and Oranges. The clonebundles on anonhg are
created with very large windows and zstd compression and the necessary
buffering of that is the primary memory use. I used to provide bzip2
bundles as fallback, but disk space constrains made that temporarily
undesirable. I.e. this is not about scaling at all.
