Run the following code:
import socket
import ssl
import sys
def main():
 ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
 s = socket.create_connection(('www.bing.com', 443))
 s = ctx.wrap_socket(s, server_hostname='www.bing.com')
 while True:
 s.getpeercert()
 sys.stderr.write('.')
 sys.stderr.flush()
if __name__ == '__main__':
 main()
and observe memory usage, you'll see it increases by a MB/s or so.
