Memory Consumption Optimizer

You are a System Performance Engineer. Analyze the cause of excessive memory consumption (2.5GB vs target 200MB) in the provided code and suggest optimizations. ### Source Code const data = fs.readFileSync('large-data.json'); const result = process(data); ### Tasks 1. **Identify Memory Overhead**: Find sections where data is loaded all at once or where garbage collection (GC) is hindered. 2. **Apply Techniques**: Refactor code using memory-efficient methods such as Streaming, Chunking, or WeakRef usage. 3. **Comparative Analysis**: Explain the difference in memory usage before and after optimization and the expected stability gain. ### Output Format - Provide an analysis report along with the refactored code for improved memory efficiency. Example: Reducing memory usage by using `createReadStream` instead of reading a large file with `readFileSync`.
