MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 message listeners added to [Worker]

[trivikr]

I noticed this issue while running parallel-prettier on ~16000 files in aws/aws-sdk-js-v3#1949

System Information

• Operating System: Amazon Linux 2 x86_64
• Host type: c5.4xlarge (16 Virtual CPUs, 32.0 GiB Memory, 160 GiB SSD (EBS) Storage)
• Node.js version: v14.15.4

Command run was equivalent to:

node --trace-warnings ./node_modules/.bin/pprettier --write **/*.{ts,js,md,json}

(node:697) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 message listeners added to [Worker]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

The error appears around 16 times, equal to number of virtual CPUs.

Thanks for the issue. This is not particularly concerning if files are read faster than they are formatted. But I will take care of it.
