SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS vs. default buffer retention for low-traffic TLS

In low-traffic environments with many long-lived, idle connections, memory consumption often becomes the primary constraint. OpenSSL provides the SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode to address this, but it introduces a trade-off between memory footprint and CPU overhead. \n Enabling this mode allows OpenSSL to free the internal read and write buffers when a connec
