Nonsense, it will still save a considerable amount of memory. The difference with the buffered variant is that the latter needs to keep all results in memory because you need to be able to access it. With the unbuffered version, mysql_free_result() will indeed fetch all rows, but it doesn't need to do anything with the data, so it doesn't need to fit the complete rest of the query into memory before freeing it. It just "eats" the data, it doesn't store it anywhere.
