Hi Juli, you can take a look at
https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/understanding-the-garbage-collector.html
for some explanations of the various knobs. Specifically, the in-text note
sections (marked with the icon of two pages) give some helpful hints. The
first one on the page is 'Setting the Size of the Minor Heap'.

Regards,

Yawar
