Description
Hi!
I originally noticed this issue while using WebREPL. I was running loops printing sensor values and after a while (few minutes) it got stuck. It was not just one time - it reproduced over and over. So, in order to find the issue, I tried to create minimal examples using sockets and the issue reproduced for them as well. If you run following examples below for few minutes (usually 2-3), they will hang (or at least for me they do). Sometimes they hang for several seconds (upto 30) and then continue, but afterwards they hang completely. If I use non-blocking sockets it raises EAGAIN error on server. The issue occurs for both sync and async server versions.
Also I thought that maybe my wifi is unstable, but I rewrote same example on C++ (Arduino IDE) and it worked perfectly for long time without any delays and freezes.

cnt += 1

loop = uasyncio.get_event_loop()
