the daemon use constant memory. For example, it reduces the daemon's
maximum RSS on
$ nix copy --from ~/my-nix --to daemon /nix/store/1n7x0yv8vq6zi90hfmian84vdhd04bgp-blender-2.79a
from 264 MiB to 7 MiB.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
