Potential Memory Leak with New Date

I have been experiencing a terrible memory leak for a while.
After digging my code, I'm convinced that new Date was the cause of the leak.
Here is my code;
setInterval(function() { console.log({ now: new Date }) }, 100);
And after I changed it to
setInterval(funciont () { let info = { now: new Date }; console.log(info); info = null; }, 100);
The memory usage has significantly decreased.
I should also note that when I changed new Date to Date.now() I experienced the same memory usage decrease.

Thank you for your reading my post!

Can't reproduce.

Using node-v8.11.3-linux-x64 with

setInterval(function() { console.log({ now: new Date }) }, 100);

memory usage stays stable for me.

Is there anything else I am missing? Can you reproduce the issue on a js file with that single line?

Can not reproduce with v10.5.0-darwin too.

It seems the memory leak was happening in conjunction with other parts of my code
I haven't been able to figured out exactly how it is happening.

I will come back once I figure it out.

Thank you for your time.

I'll close this out for now then.
