Regressions since a recent release

Issue Description

The package used to perform fantastically and consistently. Now I frequently need to restart Atom, or close and re-open the file to get the correct behavior. Sometimes it seems as if the linter freezes and so any changes I make don't update the UI's red error labels, I just see the blinking yellow dot in the bar at the bottom.

Bug Checklist

There is no debug output, just a blinking yellow dot.

Versions

atom: 1.18.0 x64
linter: 2.2.0
linter-eslint: 8.2.1
linter-ui-default: 1.6.3

---

I wish I could give more accurate details, but the behavior is very erratic. No rhyme or reason on when it happens, what file it happens to, or even the fix. Sometimes its a full atom restart, sometimes just close and reopen the file.

Happy to walk through debugging steps to help resolve.

There have been a number of reports of high memory usage (e.g. #925, #927, #930) after we started to use the Atom task api in version 8.2.0. However, troubleshooting the exact cause or causes has been fruitless so far. Unfortunately, your only real option for now is to downgrade to 7.3.2 using apm install linter-eslint@7.3.2 until a fix can be found.

Amazingly linter-eslint is still not working for me. I have to stay on 7.3.2.

Not enough info here to differentiate it from #927. Let us know if you have details on more specific bugs besides that one. For now closing as duplicate.
