Fix constant garbage collection warnings by monitoring per-process memory
The memory monitoring was incorrectly using total VM memory instead of
per-process memory, causing false positives whenever any process in the
system allocated memory.

Changes:
- Changed memory monitoring to per-process instead of total VM memory
- Reduced thresholds to reasonable per-process values (50MB diff, 100MB total)
- Increased minor GC trigger from 100 to 1000 packets to prevent GC after
  every normal batch

This prevents detecting memory changes from other processes and eliminates
the constant GC warnings while still maintaining proper memory management.
