Yes, it's transparent. But my answer wasn't related to whether the 
memory can be controlled by the user or not, but whether it's the 
fastest or not.

Btw: In FPC you can use "Prefetch(SomeVariable)" to prefetch the data of 
the variable into the cache (if the platform supports something like 
that). See also:
