Measuring memory footprint #76

Description

@maltempi

Hi!

I am executing some tests with cusz API and measuring the memory footprint and I found something interesting and I'd like to share with the community -- and I'd be more than happy to hear your thoughts about that.

After compressing and decompressing, cusz seems leaving a residue of allocated memory. In my code example, I'm doing 10 iterations of compression and decompression on the same input.

In the chart below, we can see a peak of memory usage during compression and decompression (as expected). After decompression, cusz frees memory and my client code example also frees all allocated memory and the memory consumption decreases. However, notice that memory consumption does not get back to the original state and for each iteration, it leaves a little of memory. I'd say it might suggest a memory leak.

Thank you very much!
