TextDecoder iso-8859-1: Fatal javascript OOM in Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit

[kemicofa]

I'm workiing with very large CSV files (85Mo). After opening the file with Deno.readFile, I decode it with new TextDecoder("iso-8859-1").decode(rawData); and get the following error:

note: I do not get this error with utf-8

Seems like a bug in TextDecoder implementation in https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/master/op_crates/web/08_text_encoding.js

Running with --v8-flags=--max-old-space-size=8192 temporarily fixes the issue.

This is not really an issue but the docs for it can be improved, that's why I created #7084

It would help us debug if we had a small example script.

This should be resolved now. Also consider using streaming decoders for large files (either TextDecoderStream, or the stream option on TextDecoder.decode).
