Extension modules should normally use the functions for ensuring binary compatibility of the user's code across Python versions. Subsequently, if the Python runtime switches to its own malloc (different from standard malloc), no recompilation is required for the extensions. The macro versions trade compatibility for speed. They can be used whenever there is a performance problem, but their use implies recompilation of the code for each new Python release. The Python core uses the macros because it *is* compiled on every upgrade. This might not be the case with 3rd party extensions in a custom setup (for example, a customer does not always have access to the source of 3rd party deliverables).
