External memory issue

[valentinmatter]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to integrate with DyDx and ran into some pretty weird behaviour. As soon as I import the dydx client, my Node app takes way longer to start (less than a second without it, more than 30s when it's getting imported) and I noticed a massive spike in "external memory" usage (I've no idea what "external memory" is, but I guess it spends time allocating it, which would explain the slow start):

I've made a repo with a minimal example here but I don't really know where to start to debug this.

I tried multiple versions of node (v14, v16) and different architectures (ARM/x86), it always happen.

Any idea?

Thanks
