Is it that necessary to have the compiler free everything?
It usually makes sense to ensure all the allocated memory is still
reachable (i.e. there are no uncontrollable leaks), but if there are
pointers to that memory it should be fine to leave that memory unfreed to
speed up the process shutdown.
