I noticed that nodemon uses a lot of CPU while watching my current project.
I investigated it and found that it is
chokidarwho consumes lots of resources. I found this issue paulmillr/chokidar#1162.I looked into the problem through the context of
nodemonand found thatchokidarwatches all the files even if we are interested in files with specific extensions.So, I made this change paulmillr/chokidar#1274 and proposed it to the chokidar.
If talking in numbers, before that change, I had watched 29 892 files and had usage of CPU. It started from the range 198 - 203 at the beginning and stoped at level 217 - 219 after 5-10 restarts. if retrieved via
ps -C node -wwo pid,%cpu,%mem,cmdAfter these changes, I started having 20 140 files watched and CPU usage at 173 - 181 at the beginning, which is a noticeable reduction for my system.
@remy and community, if you consider these changes to be a meaningful improvement, please help me get the PR paulmillr/chokidar#1274 merged.
Also, feel free to share your feedback if you see some improvements in the work I did.
Thanks in advance!
