because sandboxed containers handle a low volume of requests, and it is
therefore important to achieve high densities for efficiency.

The above figure demonstrates these costs based on three sample applications.
This test is the result of running many instances of a container (typically 50)
and calculating available memory on the host before and afterwards, and dividing
-the difference by the number of containers.

The first application is an instance of `sleep`: a trivial application that does
nothing. The second application is a synthetic `node` application which imports
a number of modules and listens for requests. The third application is a similar

itself is responsible for a small, mostly fixed amount of memory overhead.
