What Happened?

After a short time, after connecting in VPN Service mode, the CPU usage starts to grow to 100%. Restarting helps for 5-10 minutes, but then it grows again to 100%.

Minimal Reproducible Example (MRE)

Vpn Service mode
TUN gvisor
TLS fragment off
WARP off

I can confirm this.
It seems to have memory leaks, which may also affect CPU usage.

I suspect it is related to libcore.
In my case, it occurred while using the system proxy mode.
Until 2-3 hours, the load was negligible, but after that, I had a recorder consuming 33GB of memory and using 122% of the CPU!

Edit:
After further inspection. It appears most of the leaks are coming from Status logs memory allocation
