`MIMALLOC_EAGER_COMMIT_DELAY=N` (`N` is 1 by default) to delay the initial `N` segments (of 4MiB)

and allocate just a little to take up space in the huge OS page area (which cannot be reset).
- `MIMALLOC_RESERVE_HUGE_OS_PAGES_AT=N`: where N is the numa node. This reserves the huge pages at a specific numa node.
(`N` is -1 by default to reserve huge pages evenly among the given number of numa nodes (or use the available ones as detected))
The huge pages are usually allocated evenly among NUMA nodes.
We can use `MIMALLOC_RESERVE_HUGE_OS_PAGES_AT=N` where `N` is the numa node (starting at 0) to allocate all
the huge pages at a specific numa node instead.
Use caution when using `fork` in combination with either large or huge OS pages: on a fork, the OS uses copy-on-write
