Doi need to use the ippMalloc functions instead of 'new'? The calls to ipp functions seemed to work both ways with no difference in timing.

It is better to use aligned memory blocks if you are wonder about performance. The ippMalloc function provides such memory allocation. But it is possible to use just new operator (or CRT malloc function). No problem with functionality or robustness of IPP code for that case. But be aware that in this case you will not able to reach the maximum performance of your code.
