Textmaker-instal to storage card or main memory?

When installing textmaker, is it better to install it to main memory or the storage card. What are the advantages of each?

I put mine in main memory because it's a program I intend to use regardless of what's in the storage card. I may have my MP3s in storage and want to work on a .doc. This gives me that flexibility.

I installed mine on an sd card. I try to keep as few programs in main memory as possible, and textmaker runs just fine from the card.

I have TextMaker installed to my SD card. It's a pretty large programs and I want to leave as much on my Axim's RAM free. It works flawlessly.

Ditto! Has anyone tried it in both to see if there is a speed diff?

I have noticed no difference in performance between installation on an sd card and installation in main memory. It does take slightly longer to load from a card (about 3-4 seconds longer on my X5).
