24745	Django 1.8+ Migrations Hold Onto Way More Memory	James Pulec	Markus Holtermann	"After bumping to 1.8, rendering model states when running migrate seems to consume a lot more memory. Somewhere on the order of 4x-6x more. It doesn't look like this memory is properly released back to the OS after running migrate, and just hangs around.

I discovered this calling manage.py test when using a custom test runner that makes a subprocess call, and was unable to do so, because the python process was already consuming so much memory that os.fork() couldn't create a new process."
