Thanks for the information, Philip. That's my impression as well. I'd be 
hesitant to use a module that has not been battle-tested in production 
environment. The other way I can think of is to throw some simulated prod 
traffic to my node app with UMEM_DEBUG turned on. This is inspired by
https://www.joyent.com/blog/walmart-node-js-memory-leak
It would require significant analysis on the memory trace although and not 
a fit for real-time monitoring.
