Is there any advantage to allocating more heap to ES load balancer

if i have a no-data ES node that is going to act as a load balancer in a
cluster, are there any performance benefits to giving it more heap? doesnt
it act more like a relay and aggregator with perhaps high cpu utilization?
does it need to be allocated high memory?

thanks

It is my understanding that such a node does not have any particular
need for large amounts of RAM.
