Description

A `Client()` will create processes with hard memory limits 1/N of the system RAM; they will be killed by the nanny at 95%. It actually may be fine on a local machine to increase beyond this, and in any case, a new process will appear and all the work will be redistributed on the same node anyway.

This is open for discussion.
