This commit removes the simple/test-event-emitter-memory-leak test for
being unreliable with the new garbage collector: the memory pressure
exerted by the test case is too low for the garbage collector to kick
in. It can be made to work again by limiting the heap size with the
--max_old_space_size=x flag but that won't be very reliable across
platforms and architectures.
There are serious performance regressions both in V8 and our own legacy
networking stack. Until we correct our own problems we are going back to the
old V8.
Use the --debug command line flag to enable.
It appears that d8 sucks. Luckily it can be rewritten rather easily with the
repl and tcp client libraries.
Node's CL option parsing is getting rather unwieldy - needs refactor.
