Correct. There is no point individually freeing the memory for every
object at application quit time, because the OS will automatically
reclaim all the memory in one big chunk.

If you want to know when your application is quitting, you should use
the applicationWillTerminate: delegate method or
NSApplicationWillTerminate notification.
