My findings so far:
1) The EvalServer does not leak memory per se. Assuming a clean EvalServer
instance has been started with './perl6-eval-server -cookie TESTTOKEN -app
./perl6.jar' the following does not leak memory:
$ echo 'say 42;' > foo.p6
$ for i in {1..500}; do ./eval-client.pl TESTTOKEN run ./foo.p6; done
2) Using 'run' (or calling Proc::Async directly) does not leak memory:
$ ./perl6-j -e 'for ^5000 { run("echo", "42") }'
3) Feeding the EvalServer with a program that calls 'run' (or Proc::Async
directly) does heavily leak memory, threads and what not (again assuming a
clean EvalServer instance started as above):
$ echo 'run("echo", "42");' > foo.p6
$ for i in {1..500}; do ./eval-client.pl TESTTOKEN run foo.p6; done
