Chunksize from json memory consumption as high as without chunksize (original) (raw)

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

While working on the PR (#33962) for adding nrows to read_json it was seen that maybe the chunksize parameter for read_json is not doing its task. ASV benchmarks were carried out but as this issue is not related to the PR we decided to create a new issue for it
