the test shows that sec mem is ok-ish up to the number of available cores,
and when the sec mem lock gets contended, performance goes down rapidly.
Tested on Apple M4 Pro.

@ -45,7 +45,12 @@ the program's dynamic memory area, where keys and other sensitive
information might be stored, OpenSSL supports the concept of a "secure heap."
The level and type of security guarantees depend on the operating system.
It is a good idea to review the code and see if it addresses your
threat model and concerns.
threat model and concerns. It should be noted that the secure heap
uses a single read/write lock, and therefore any operations
that involve allocation or freeing of secure heap memory are serialised,
blocking other threads. With that in mind, highly concurrent applications
should enable the secure heap with caution and be aware of the performance
implications for multi-threaded code.
If a secure heap is used, then private key B<BIGNUM> values are stored there.
This protects long-term storage of private keys, but will not necessarily
