Thanks @matthewp, I have a suggestion and a comment for you!

Whether to defer rendering of renderable entries (such as Markdown) until they are rendered in a page, instead of rendering them eagerly during content sync.

I would mention MDX up top so its clear from the get go it benefits both.

Whether to defer rendering of renderable entries (such as Markdown and MDX) until they are rendered in a page, instead of rendering them eagerly during content sync.

By default, the `glob()` loader renders each Markdown entry during sync and stores the resulting HTML in the data store. This allows the rendered content to be cached and reused across builds. However, for large collections whose rendered output is much larger than the source, storing all this rendered HTML in memory at once can cause your build to run out of memory.

would this mean this has some interaction with the retainBody option? Like, is setting one false/true change how the other works? I am not super familiar with those options, so I don't know for sure, but if there's any sort of interaction or weird combination of both you should avoid maybe we can add some information about it here!
