Probably. By the way, nothing in my messages should be interpreted to
say that Guix's memory usage is acceptable. I am merely trying to help.

Please have a look at zram [1] which compresses many of your memory
pages and requires no device at all (thus saving valuable disk space),
or zswap [2] which compresses your swap pages. The latter reduces the
size of your swap partition while keeping the same capacity. [3]
Kind regards
