Huge memory consumption under Python 3.6

See original GitHub issue

Python 3.6.6
Django 1.11.2
Silk 3.0.1

We’ve been using silk for quite a while on Python 2.6, but recently when we upgraded to Python 3.6, we observed our mod_wsgi processes consuming huge amounts of memory and being killed. This happens in a loop: every 15 seconds or so, the memory usage will climb steadily, then the process is killed and restarted, repeating the loop.

After investigating all our dependencies one by one, we found it is silk that triggers this behaviour - if silk dependency is included we observe it, if excluded the behaviour goes away. We’ve observed this behaviour on both apache and nginx.

I appreciate this report is thin on diagnostic info. Any ideas on tests I could do to narrow down the issue?

Facing same issue with python 3.6, Django 2.2.8 and django-silk 3.0.4.The previous django-silk version was 1.0.0 with Django 1.11.23 and it was working fine.
