sylva-units Helm chart rendering memory consumption is high
We've known for a while that the memory consumed by Flux helm-controller is high during rendering of sylva-units Helm chart.
{width=900 height=523}
We've regularly increased the memory `limit` of that pod to compensate for that, but this isn't sufficient:
* without also increasing `requests` it does not influence pod scheduling, and the scheduler may place the pod on an otherwise loaded Node, creating conditions for memory pressure conditions on that node
* increasing `requests` for something which isn't a frequent leads to pessimistic dimentioning, resulting in less efficient resource usage
We are aware of some occurrences, in particular in CI, where this creates breakage (e.g. #3425).
**With this in mind, we would benefit from improving the memory footprint of Helm during processing of sylva-units Helm chart.**
