Are destructors always run (or run in the same way if called explicitly by the programmer or by the OS itself)? If so, it would seem like any delay the destructors take to run would happen no matter whether the programmer explicitly clean up the objects or just lets the OS do it anyway. Unless the OS runs the destructors in the background and so doesn't block the user interface, whereas the program would appear to hang while it calls them in the main thread before releasing the UI.
