It seems likely they'll use the RAM as a cache.

After you do a soft reset all program RAM is clear and programs will have to load from BIS the first time you use each of them after a reset. After a program has been loaded from BIS into RAM it can stay in RAM until the system needs the RAM that program is occupying. In other words, it will stay in RAM even after you quit the program.

If you always install programs into the BIS you'll be able to adjust the slider in the Memory settings thing to allocate more RAM to program usage (and less to storage) and should end up with almost all programs staying in RAM. Certainly the more heavily used programs will be end up being in RAM almost all of the time.

I'm installing all programs into the BIS and I notice little minor delays here and there but nothing really annoying.
