For general reference, when is it appropriate to use FastAllocBase?

If you subclass RefCounted<T> or Noncopyable, which is very common, you pick up FastAllocBase. So, my naive guess is that any class/struct which doesn't pick up FastAllocBase through its inheritance chain should subclass it directly. Is that a reasonable guideline?

My understanding is that FastAllocBase is supposed to be on the inheritance chain for every object that's allocated on the heap. Adam
