Previously
Process.monitor
had been called in every recursionfor the target even though we only need to call it only once.
I observed that on production when using httpoison to consume server sent events. Noticed in the observer_cli:
I am currently using the PR code in production and it fixed the issue. Now also the blacked out processes to which I stream the server sent events ( so they are the target which has been monitored via Process.monitor(target) in the tranformer ) have a memory footprint of 8MB.
