Consider using pidtree package

See original GitHub issue

Currently this package recursively kill processes level by level spawning the ps or pgrep a lot of times.

I’ve built this package that maybe can help to improve performance. https://github.com/simonepri/pidtree

My benchmarks shows that is really fast (~5-10 ms per call regardless of how big the sub-tree is) but I don’t know if it would be adapt for the use of this package.

What’s the advantage of calling ps or pgrep multiple times instead of parsing the tree just calling ps once? Memory efficiency? Or it was just simpler to implement?

Hah I just saw that https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/pull/3554/files basically IS such a PR

Yes kind of. Actually my belief is that taskkill should be faster for windows.
