Possible memory leak when putting a value with the same key

[marcus-pousette]

When putting a value into the db with an existing key (and the same value) I see that the size of the db folder just grows. Expected behaviour is that it will remain the same size if I re-insert an entry as the old value is to be overwritten.

I use

store.put(key, value, { valueEncoding: "view" })

I get the same results using the batch put method. I get the same results using sync: true

Deleteing the entry seems to clear up all the data that has accumulated for all insertions on the same key.

I am using version "1.3.0"

I realized that this is intended behaviour for performance reasons. Disc size never seems to exceed 10mb as pruning will start to kick in eventually.
