Potential memory leak

[amoore108]

Current behavior:
We're seeing a potential memory leak from the latest version of @emotion, possibly the @emotion/jest library specifically: https://github.com/bbc/simorgh/actions/runs/10039435131/job/27743362024?pr=11779

This behaviour can be reproduced locally by running this Dependabot update branch: bbc/simorgh#11779

I tried downgrading @emotion/jest back to 11.11.0 and it appears to work and not crash out (although causes snapshot issues, probably due to the mismatch between versions of expected packages)

Previously 11.12.0 of the other Emotion packages, apart from @emotion/jest, also worked: bbc/simorgh#11776

To reproduce:

1. Pull down this branch locally: Bump the emotion group across 2 directories with 6 updates bbc/simorgh#11779
2. Run yarn to install dependencies
3. Run yarn test:unit to run unit tests
4. Tests run for a period of time, but then crash out with a JavaScript heap out of memory error

Expected behavior:

• Should run Jest tests and pass

Environment information:

• react version: 18.3.1
• @emotion/react version: 11.13.0

I can see what could cause this but I somewhat fail to see why 🤔 This shouldn't increase the memory usage all that much: 89bebfb

I can look into your issue given that you have provided the repro case... but it will take some days before I get to it.

Thanks @Andarist, no major rush on this. Appreciate your time looking into it 👍

Similar situation here, bumped @emotion/jest from 11.11.0 to 11.13.0 and now if I run my tests with --detectLeaks, they all fail as leaking memory. Going back to 11.11.0 solves it.

Unfortunately can't provide a small repo to reproduce.
