To check for memory leaks ran the snappy compression decompression test in
a loop
```
rebar shell
==> couchdb-snappy (shell)
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.3.3.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10]
[async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V9.3.3.1 (abort with ^G)
1> cd("test").
2> c(snappy_tests).
3> [begin snappy_tests:test(), timer:sleep(10) end || _ <-
lists:seq(1,10000)].
