Sorry to jump in late with a probably silly question, but I couldn't find the 
answer easily. What's the difference between disksize and mem_limit?
I assume the former is uncompressed size (virtual size) and the latter is 
compressed size (real memory usage)? Maybe the difference should be made 
clearer in the documentation.
If disksize is the uncompressed size, why would we want to set this at all?
