For high performance in a game engine you should not allocate/deallocate memory in the game loop at all (can be done, have done it*, so no arguing there). Increases the performance and frees you of doing "the create/free thing", that's killing two birds with one stone. Outside the game loop you do not need such a 'high performance' anymore.

*The game uses procedural/random level generation and depending on skill there can be over 300 levels in a single run, with all allocation/deallocation happening before/after a run.
