I mean maximum, it sets the total amount of memory. If you set the initial
heap size, it will still grow the heap, but from a larger starting point. I
am wondering
* what the amount of RAM is this score needs as a minimum,
* how much over the minimum you need to be to get decent runtime.
this could give us hints on how aggressive we should scale up the heap.

when you see things like:
World-stopped marking took 187 msecs (77 in average)
In-use heap: 51% (40071 KiB pointers + 6357 KiB other)
it means it took 187ms for GC, and then reclaimed 49% of the memory.
If you often see higher percentages, we'll spend more CPU in marking memory
without getting fresh memory.
I tried to run the carver score, but it needs updating and,
[hanwen@localhost lilypond]$ ./out/bin/convert-ly carver/*ly
convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.21.0
Traceback (most recent call last):

Is there still work left for the python3 conversion?
