meteor:dispatch makes ddp unstable (continuously disconnect/reconnect)

[deeeed]

I have been trying to track down a problem with ground:db and ended up on this package that seems to cause a very unstable ddp connection on cordova.
It is very easy to reproduce, just create a blank project and add dispatch:kernel.

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';

if(Meteor.isClient) {

  Tracker.autorun(() => {
    console.debug("connected: "+Meteor.status().connected);
  });

}

This is the single file on my project and when I run it on a device I can see in the console the status of the connection going offline online every few seconds.

The problem is that after each reconnection the client re-subscribe to the publication and download the data again and again.

@raix I have been commenting out the part that extend Meteor in the lib and it fixed my problem.
Is there a measure/benchmark showing how much improvement this can bring to meteor ?

Thanks

I have the same problem on chrome 49.

@raix @pdiniz13 @evallgar I confirm the fix of @deeeed works perfectly.

@deeeed can you do a pr please? (maybe put the extend meteor part in a "Kernel.extendMeteor()")
