Hello,
Cloak arm build (armv5 32-bit softfloat) build takes a huge amount of ram when making a new connection even when NumConn=1, approximately 80-100 MB which causes it to crash frequently on routers. Tested on FreshTomato 2020.2 Firmware with Netgear R7000 with shadowsocks-libev plugin mode.

It starts with reasonable RAM but as soon as connection is established (around 100 Mbps bandwidth) and sending traffic memory usage increase very quickly.

The same exact version AMD64 Windows build does not show this behavior.

Using normal AdminUID, Encryption method = plain.
