Websocket heap consumption

[SimonVs]

Hi

I am using the websocket client example in my project.
For this project i am required to open up to 5 websockets at the same time. The problem for this seems to be the heap consumption. There is a heap allocation of 10kByte per websocket. Is there a way to reduce this?
I do not use SSL, but is there a way to for example disable the SSL overhead, which i do not use?
