So, for jvm you create less tasks but with more ram, e.g. 100 tasks 4G RAM each, and problem is solved?

Having more of the smaller tasks spreads out the load more evenly and when rust apps starts in less than a second, it's easy to fine tune and reason about having more tasks running. With JVM, we just waste memory because of the overhead from GC, and I don't feel comfortable with the idea.
