Per the article: "(Currently it’s determined even before startup, at compile-time, but startup is the important point since that is the first time that memory can be allocated.)"

Sooo are we sure you can even change this via proc restart? This is saying the limits are built-in during compile...

They are currently compile time settings. That may change in the future to be more user-friendly. :) But what won't change is that the size is fixed at startup.

That totally makes sense. I think you'd have a miserable time supporting this at scale if a re-compile is needed every time a new workload requires a tweaked setting or two. Config based static allocation is the best of both worlds.
