Is the test in the article a valid test? In the Java case the wouldn't the program quit before the garbage collector gets a chance to run? Wouldn't that would be kind of like running the C program without free()?

No.

Yes.

The benchmark code also re-parses the integer command-line argument on every iteration of the loop.

This benchmark is meaningless.
