This won't free any resources

This is not Windows 3.11 or Mac OS 9.

Quiting the finder will help nothing for performance and memory. This is Unix, OS X has a decent memory management.

Stop looking a page hits all the day :-)

Try it. The Finder just builds up cruft upon cruft, so most people find that occasionally quiting Finder can fix strange icon behavior as well as assorted other issues. An occassional logout will help as well...but this hint is MUCH quicker.
