I don't imagine that there would be any memory management problems related to the hardware itself.
This may sound stupid, but if ROM is faster than RAM why are programs (applications) installed (by default) to RAM rather than to ROM?.

This is just an observation: I re-installed Avantgo to ROM (BIS) since I subscribe to a ton of channels and I would get "low memory" warnings from my Axim. I noticed a marked slow-down of Avantgo (displaying channel content etc.) running from ROM.
