jcstress should trim down the default heap size based on total CPU count. User can trim down the number of CPUs the harness is using, but that would not affect taken memory at the moment, which would take the same amount of total memory.
As limiting the number of CPUs is the options that enables coexistence with other processes on the same machine, it should also trim the amount of total memory the forked processes use.
