+/* The Linux OOM score is a value computed by the kernel ranging between 0 and
+ * 1000 and indicating how likely is a process to be killed when memory is
+ * tight. The larger the value the more likely a process is to be killed. The
+ * score is computed based on the amount of memory used plus an adjustment
+ * value. We chose our adjustment values to make it likely that processes are
+ * killed in the following order:
+ *
+ * 1. preallocated processes
+ * 2. background processes
+ * 3. background processes playing video (but no audio)
+ * 4. foreground processes or processes playing or recording audio
+ * 5. the parent process
+ *
+ * At the time of writing (2022) the base score for a process consuming very
+ * little memory seems to be around ~667. Our adjustments are thus designed
+ * to ensure this order starting from a 667 baseline but trying not to go too
+ * close to the 1000 limit where they would be clamped. */
