HUGO_MEMORYLIMIT is not taking effect?

I’m trying to set HUGO_MEMORYLIMIT while generating a website with a high number of pages (> 500k). It doesn’t take effect and I’m not 100% sure if it’s a bug or something I’m missing.

1. The HUGO_MEMORYLIMIT is a “best effort” setting.
2. I don’t think it’s fair to expect Hugo to build 500k pages with 1GB of memory. Or, that may be possible, but it really depends on the site in question.

You can get better indication about how the memory throttling behaves by running with hugo --logLevel info and look for log statements labeled dynacache.
