My point with an automatic critical section locker inside a curly brace block is that it is about 200 times faster than dynamically allocating and manually freeing it, and it is exception-safe too, which is the main reason why you use a locker object in the first place. :)

You realize that was a rhetorical question, right?

EDIT: Oh, and in addition to the reasons you gave, you can always call wxCriticalSection::Enter() and wxCriticalSection::Leave() instead of dynamically creating and destroying a locker, for the exact same effect but without the dynamic allocation overhead. (So still not exception-safe, but at least as fast as a non-dynamically allocated locker)
(Therefore there is absolutely no reason to ever use new wxCriticalSectionLocker. There is always a better way)
