Assuming our simulation is not designed to auto-scale (and our Admins don’t know how to download more RAM), what kind of side effects could we see in the world if the underlying system hosting our simulation began running out of resources?

We would probably see more caching of parts of the universe that don’t typically observe. Given that our current observation can’t see this in current time, we don’t immediately notice.
The interesting bit would be to figure out what parts get cached, since we may not be the only sentient life.
Maybe the system would be configured with some odd laws that constantly shrink the size of the observable universe?
