Yes, they wibbled for me a little during the patch. I figured we could
tighten them actually, but peak_megabytes is particularly fiddly I've
found as Simon said.

This test wobbles around a lot, as a glance at all.T will show. peak-megabytes is very vulnerable to changes in when GC strikes. I suggest just changing the numbers to accept
