Memory leak when using Http facade

[Ostojic-96]

• Octane Version: v1.2.1
• Laravel Version: v9.0.2
• PHP Version: 8.1
• Server & Version: Openswoole 4.9.1
• Sail version: v1.13.2

When I'm using Http facade memory is going up with every request. My setup is made with Laravel Sail.

Route::get('test', function () {
Http::get('https://swapi.dev/api/people/1');

return memory_get_usage();
});

This is not the case with the Guzzle client

Route::get('test', function () {
    $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
    $client->get('https://swapi.dev/api/people/1');
    return memory_get_usage();
});  

I already tried other channels like Discord, Laracasts, Stackoverflow but didn't get any answers.

I've tested this exact code with wrk and millions of requests, and there is no memory leak here. The fact that you see the memory increasing for a few requests just means that Octane didn't run the gc_collect_cycles yet.
