If you do not have a well-defined lifecycle of an object or need
several temporary allocations repeatedly its better to use malloc.
Pools are best used when you can create and destroy the pool regularly
based on the workflow of you application such as a main object
representing an handle etc.

Anything using a session can also use the session's pool.

The pools auto-size themselves and do not support freeing any
allocated data.  The whole pool must be destroyed.
