Have you ever thought, how ‘nodemon’ works internally? Let’s build our own ‘nodemon’ in under 10 minutes!

I haven't looked into memory usage in chokidar too much, but it'd guess it's just wasting a lot of memory keeping useless data out of Stats objects into memory. You can check out my filesystem watcher (https://github.com/fabiospampinato/watcher) to see how it only keeps in memory that bits that it needs.
