huge memory consumption while running frontend unit testcases locally

[jzhao62]

Bug description

• memory consumption ramps from 7GB to 32GB while running npm run test which is not quite ideal
• im running this on my personal machine. cannot run all tests in a single batch, will need to run tests in multiple batches if this problem is persistant

How to reproduce the bug

• check out master, pull latest changes
• cd superset-frontend
• npm run test as indicated in the doc
• all your processes crashes :P

Additional context

• if this is intended, this is still not ideal as most of the situations people will have less than 32G memory from their dev machines. would could consider modify the scripts to let jest run tests in multiple batches
• if this is not an intendend behavior, could indicate a memory leak when setting up test suites or problem within Jest.
• system setting
  

Checklist

• I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
• I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
• I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.
