Firstly, I don't see gcc using a lot of memory for this test case. How
much do you see it using? How much real and virtual memory do you have?
Secondly, freeing memory shortly before gcc is about to die would be
a bad idea, since that might force the OS to page in old cruft, whereas
it can do a much more efficient job of cleaning up if gcc just dies as
a whole.
