Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Chrome with CSVs of around one million rows, then inspect the browser-side streaming parser entry point. Use browser memory tools to identify what grows during parsing. Done means the parser can process these large CSVs without the reported memory leak or making Chrome unstable.
