`CONFIG_N_ARENA=n` can be adjusted to increase parallel performance at the expense of memory usage,
or decrease memory usage at the expense of parallel performance, where `n` is an integer. For
low-memory systems, `VARIANT=light` can be used to compile the light variant of hardened_malloc,
which sacrifices some security for much less memory usage.
