You have got it backwards. Smartpointers are taken into use for coping 
with the fact that objects need to by dynamically allocated and 
deallocated, by the program logic.

And this allocation/deallocation would happen relatively rarely. If the 
object lifetimes were short, then typically they could be controlled 
much better, and there would be no need for refcounted smartpointers, or 
maybe even no need for dynamic allocation of objects in the first place.
