Option to optimise for lower memory usage

[maia]

Using the Heroku add-on, I'm missing the option to optimise for minimal memory usage (rather than optimising for speed). Is there any hidden way to enable such an option?

The UI has a dropdown with ActionController as only option, but it's still possible to profile worker dynos by changing RUBY_GC_SPY. As there's another dropdown with "speed" as the only option next to it, I wonder if it also has a way to alter it.

The reason for asking is that the suggested values don't seem to take into account that my worker dyno is limited with 512MB. I'd like to keep the app's 95th percentile memory usage at ~420MB, as it allows me to quickly identify periods that need my attention.

I assume that tunemygc should then suggest lower values of RUBY_GC_HEAP_FREE_SLOTS and RUBY_GC_HEAP_GROWTH_MAX_SLOTS, but due to my rather limited knowledge this might be incorrect or incomplete.

Edit: Here are suggested and current settings for the mentioned 512MB worker dyno:
