You might consider MemPtrNew and MemPtrFree. If you're going to allocate
then immediately lock a handle, and only unlock it right before you free
it, then you should use a fixed chunk (pointer) instead. ...now you're
back to just 2 operations.
I don't know how the C++ compiler implements new/delete, so I can't say
whether that's better or worse than using MemPtrNew/MemPtrFree.
