Anecdotally, I noticed that FreeBSD VMs on OSX runners took around ten minutes longer to finish when I didn't override the default memory value - around 30 minutes for 13G (1) vs 20 minutes for 8G (1) (2).

So a slightly better benchmark test was ran, and came back with the following results (1) (2).

Memory 1st run 2nd 3rd 4th
8GB 36m 27s 31m 37s 25m 36s 19m 39s
10GB 27m 18s 29m 16s 21m 31s 26m 42s
12GB 33m 44s 38m 25s 59m 18s 41m 06s
13GB 50m 45s 47m 33s 28m 58s 46m 30s

There looks to be some element of randomness here, but at the same time, the 40-50m runs do seem to be unevenly skewed to the higher memory VMs. Needs many more repeated runs though for a pattern to really show.
