When to use Malloc?

Hi! I hope this is the correct forum to post the question even if I'm a newbie... I am a C-newbie (and really on the edge to be a C-addict ;) ) and have a question. When should I use malloc? To state it differently, when should I NOT use malloc? For instance, if I have an array of...

malloc vs new speed

Which one is faster among malloc and new? My understanding is that since new also has to call constructors after allocating memory it must be slower than malloc. Am I correct?

PHYSFS_Allocator(3)						      physfs						       PHYSFS_Allocator(3)

NAME

       PHYSFS_Allocator -

       PhysicsFS allocation function pointers.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <physfs.h>

   Data Fields
       int(* Init )(void)
       void(* Deinit )(void)
       void *(* Malloc )(PHYSFS_uint64)
       void *(* Realloc )(void *, PHYSFS_uint64)
       void(* Free )(void *)

Detailed Description
       PhysicsFS allocation function pointers.

       (This is for limited, hardcore use. If you don't immediately see a need for it, you can probably ignore this forever.)

       You create one of these structures for use with PHYSFS_setAllocator. Allocators are assumed to be reentrant by the caller; please mutex
       accordingly.

       Allocations are always discussed in 64-bits, for future expansion...we're on the cusp of a 64-bit transition, and we'll probably be
       allocating 6 gigabytes like it's nothing sooner or later, and I don't want to change this again at that point. If you're on a 32-bit
       platform and have to downcast, it's okay to return NULL if the allocation is greater than 4 gigabytes, since you'd have to do so anyhow.

Field Documentation
   void(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Deinit)(void) Deinitialize your allocator. Can be NULL.
   void(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Free)(void *) Free memory from Malloc or Realloc.
   int(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Init)(void) Initialize. Can be NULL. Zero on failure.
   void*(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Malloc)(PHYSFS_uint64) Allocate like malloc().
   void*(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Realloc)(void *, PHYSFS_uint64) Reallocate like realloc().
