For the record, I've disabled automatic builds on the bigmem buildbot
until things get sorted out a bit (no need to eat huge amounts of RAM
and eight hours of CPU each time a commit is pushed, only to have the
process killed :-)). It's still possible to run custom builds, of
course.

I have started work
I benchmarked some of the bigmemtests when run with -M 80G. They run really
slow, because they try to use all available memory, and then take a lot of
time processing it. Here are some runtimes:
test_capitalize (test.test_bigmem.StrTest) ... ok (420.490846s)
test_center (test.test_bigmem.StrTest)
