title: Node memory management issues when streaming Tweets
body: <p>I'm playing around with node to hook into the Twitter streaming API, but am running into some memory issues.</p>

  <p>I've managed to get a connection setup from my app.js to the twitter streaming API.  My server then emits a message to a dashboard on every tweet to visually update the results.  This all works great, but the memory steadily goes up and up until it hits the limit.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if this is just the volume of tweets that is being processed, or if memory is getting trapped and not garbage collected properly (not sure if I'm overlooking something simple?) - any help or thoughts on this? </p>
