You probably already know this, but MemHandleNew allows the memory manager
to move that memory around if necessary to make room when asked for large
chunks of contiguous memory. If you use MemPtrNew too much, you can end up
with a fragmented heap in which there is plenty of free space, but none of
the free areas are big enough to satisfy a request. Therefore, a good rule
of thumb is to use MemPtrNew only for short-lived allocations.
