Yes, this solves the issue. It still return a bit less than the RAM available, depending on what is running on the host on the moment guess-concurrency is run (e.g. puppet run), but this is already a significant improvement. For the vtk9 case, that will increase the number of jobs on a host with 16GB RAM from 2 to 3. The next step is to work with the maintainer to define the correct required memory size.
