Store causing huge memory retention and cleanup takes forever about backbone-relational HOT 2 OPEN

@a-koka I know this is an old issue, but one thing that REALLY helped for us, was to set the "includeInJSON" attribute of the reverseRelation to false. It is default by true, which was causing a super crazy large nested object as we used the toJSON method when setting up data for our views.

We went from 2.5GB of RAM for this one larger page, to 30MB.... that's how crazy the nested-ness can get.

This doesn't solve your problem, but I had the same issue.

Backbone relational started off as a nice feature that sped up development, but quickly became a bog on performance. Over the last couple of years I've migrated all my collections and models to my own plugin that helps manage relations between collections and models.

Check out Backbone Child Collections

Child collections/models are not instantiated until accessed and even then remain lightweight by not creating a bunch of event bindings

Children can be accessed via get(key) just like attributes and children have access to the parent via collection or parentModel.
