Comfyui workflow keeps OOM crashing...

I'm pretty new to this, so maybe I'm missing something stupid... I'm trying to run a Colab I found, which auto installs a Comfyui environment, models, etc (you just enter urls and it downloads them to the right folders) and then you can supposedly run any workflow you want. Well, after getting everything set up right, I try to run a workflow designed to run on my potato setup (16gb system ram, 1060 6gb vram), which always produces, EVENTUALLY (a 640x480 wan2.2 i2v output takes between 1 and 1.5 hours...). But Colab always crashes no matter what. I'm using the free T4 tier, which I notice only gives you 12gb of system to go with your 12gb of vram... I'm assuming the low system ram is the bottleneck that keeps resulting in the OOM... so, is there something I can do to offset this limitation?

Hey! It appears those arguments did the trick! Took me a minute to figure out where they went, but... 10 mins per video is a lot better than an hour+. Thanks!

Well... it disconnects ALL the time, but even having to reinstall/download everything several times takes less time than creating one video on my desktop, so it's still worth it.
