Summary
I thought the best way to mitigate Daily native image workflow running out of memory was to limit maximum Java heap used during the native image generation, but you can see that it didn't really help and I'm thinking GC just needs more. In both cases, we saw that we only allow GC small part of system memory. So either something else is using the memory (in which case we need to find it, like purge Docker images), or we simply don't use all that is at our disposal. The minimum memory suggested by Quarkus guide is 4 GB, so we can't go any lower.
See #1523
Either this will work, or we need to clean resources, or build less of extensions. As daily build is already failing over this anyway, there is no risk at trying it.
