What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. git clone https://github.com/prettydiff/aphorio
2. npm run server
3. Open a web browser to localhost and the specified port number
4. In the browser use the left side navigation and choose Performance Test
5. Choose these experiment settings:
   • WebSocket
   • Encrypted
   • Send Only
   • Force GC Between Tests
   • Location - 127.0.0.1
   • Port - specified secure port
   • Test Quantity - 5000000
   • Number of tests - 10
   • Message Body - "test"

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

50%, no required condition

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

The expected behavior is the application remains executing and returns test results.

What do you see instead?

Additional information

Unencrypted tests never fail in this manner as they will run to completion as long as it takes. This problem is specific to TLS. I have been able to run experiments comprising greater than 50,000,000 WebSocket messages repeatedly without any failures.

The error messaging indicates garbage collection in V8 is the culprit, but I suspect the problem could be OpenSSL causing V8 to hang unexpectedly until all memory is consumed.

This is an aside, but it seems at maximum efficiency I can send 3,250,000 messages in 0.002 seconds but the next 0.998 seconds is spent on garbage collection. I don't know if this is a potentially untapped optimization target. Aside from the garbage collection time it seems executing WebSockets like this application does is about 2300x faster than Bun.
I had a defect in my profiler.

Reproduce with the aphorio repository using npm run server and the encrypted WebSocket Performance Test settings described in the issue. Compare the TLS run with the unencrypted run while observing the V8 garbage-collection and heap error output. Done means the encrypted test completes and returns results without exhausting memory.
