Description

When I use the sing-box on my Android phone, the memory usage should be less than 40 MB, but it exceeds 400 MB. Additionally, the number of goroutines and inbound traffic reaches up to 20,000. Moreover, the battery usage becomes excessive, and the sing-box application drains the battery quickly. It's worth noting that this issue did not occur in versions prior to v1.9.0.

Reproduction

Reproducing the issue is straightforward. Connect to the application using WiFi or cellular data, and after a few moments, the issue occurs and the phone gets hot. This problem happens more frequently when using cellular data.
