The ssh config format has almost no context, and the code is static and always "loaded up". I can all but guarantee this isn't correct. Modern hackers tend to wildly overestimate the complexity of ancient tasks like parsing.
If you're actually concerned about the handfuls of bytes a settings object would take, you would make the page/segment containing parser code able to be unloaded from memory.
