After updating from Node 8.4.0 to Node 8.7.0 (and thus V8 6.0 to 6.1), I noticed some significant changes in the memory profile of our application. There are a lot of spikes as if there is a periodic full garbage collect instead of smaller incremental sweeps. Is this intended behaviour?

Left side is 8.4.0, right side is 8.7.0.
