Yes, Emacs returns buffer memory to the OS when a buffer is killed.
Buffer text memory is usually obtained via mmap, and is returned when
no longer needed. Buffer text memory is also returned to the OS when
buffers have their gap resized.
I think it isn't buffer memory that takes up most of the space here,
it's memory allocated for all the strings consed by this snippet.
