Hi,

guix pull takes over 8 GiB of memory to finish if there are no substitutes.

My laptop only takes max 8 GiB of RAM.  I've set up swap, but that kind of
memory usage still seems ridiculous.

The 40 weeks of time that have passed since suggest the problem is now
gone :-).

Closing, but feel free to reopen if the problem persists with
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH unset.

Thanks,
