It seems that when the builders are uploading big packages, the RAM usage of the Vieter server itself also goes up drastically. This could potentionally become an issue, so it must be investigated further.

After some testing, it seems that Vieter does indeed try to load entire archives into memory, which is honestly quite surprising.

Annoyingly enough, this increase in memory usage does not seem to happen when testing locally.

This is a non-issue. The memory increase is caching of the kernel, it doesn't actually take away memory from other programs.
