That's intentional. The V8 garbage collector tries very hard to do as few sweeps as possible and it does that by growing the heap where possible. The larger the heap is, the less V8 has to scavenge for memory when new objects are created. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
