please provide complete code to reproduce these tests, environment
specifications, and configuration settings. i don't see why misultin's
memory usage should have this much difference and would like to understand
better. i'm currently keeping two distinct ets tables for open tcp
connections and open websocket ones, so that could be a spot but is
currently the only one which i can think of.

very good to see that misultin is being CPU consistent all the way through
and not timing out on new connections.
