Memory Issues when opening files. #4

There have been problems reported when opening Excel files like this one from Freedom House.

Code that causes the memory growth (roo-1.13.2):

require 'roo'
require 'uri'  # Needed to prevent a NameError on URI

# Where the xls is a renamed copy of the mentioned sheet ...
sheet = Roo::Spreadsheet.open('freedomhouse-press.xls')

Hi @stevendaniels thanks for your work, I was wondering if you figured out something related this leak because I'm affected by it.
