Actually you answer was right even if the point count was not 
stored as an integer ;)

For C++, the answer is : never.

Two small memory blocks will have to be allocated from the memory 
pool, which is not smart, obviously, but apart of that, nothing 
to worry about.

Because there is no garbage collector in C++, memory has to be 
allocated and deallocated in a continuous manner...
