Note: The v8 test case did not cleanly apply, so it's missing from this
patch. I'm assuming this is not a problem if the v8 test suite is not
part of the node build / test system. If that's the case I'll fix it.
Otherwise the test case will be integrated once v8 is upgraded.
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.
