Description: If any string is set to an environment variable USE_VALGRIND,
when running a memory leak checking tool (e.g., valgrind),
it reduces the noise generated by the entry cache and dn cache.
Sample valgrind outputs from the same operations.
1. with USE_VALGRIND

==16525== definitely lost: 5,102 bytes in 155 blocks
