Using Zed and Ark together, the reported used memory is approximately 861Mb which is a lot for a kernel that runs REPL cells on Zed, not sure if this is normal.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported memory use with Zed and Ark while running REPL cells on Linux, then trace the srcref generation path. Compare memory usage with a smaller workload and document whether the approximately 861 MB usage is expected or identify the source of the excess allocation.
