Molfile creation is done by appending lines

[lpatiny]

I have an issue with the creation of molfile in memory. I'm creating 2500 molfile but in the memory heap snapshot it seems I have 9000000 entries

I think that in memory we keep all the different length of the string obtained during creation / concatenation:

Does this makes sense ?

Is there a way to 'clean' the memory like doing something like JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(molfile)) ?

@targos WDYT ?

Need to check if flatstr (https://github.com/davidmarkclements/flatstr/blob/master/index.js) helps

If it does, I suggest to create an issue in the V8 tracker: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/list
