+Is maxvmem what top would display as "VIRT"?
+
+Sometimes a few years ago, ghc started just mapping the entire available
+memory range, which makes it appear in VIRT that it's using the entire size
+of the system memory. Of course, the actual RSS is much lower. It appears to
+have been 40 mb for you.
+
+git-annex add can add files of arbitrary size without buffering them all in
+memory.
