Hate to answer my question, but sometimes finding the answer is the
process of quantifying the question.
I ran it generating and freeing 2500 elements 30000 times. Seems that it
is freeing the memory. See output below.

"About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't
pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going
to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and
then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade."
