The whole reason to have a page pool is to "cache" app bits from ROM into a small dedicated area of RAM, in order to boost the performance of apps located in ROM. Without a PP, the RAM can be used to cache ALL ROM bits.
On our Diamonds, since we have a very large amount of RAM, I just dont see the need to increase the pp size. We have enough RAM to cache our entire ROM X2, and still have plenty left over. So why waste the cycles needed to create, maintain, and groom a pagepool?

Thanks J0KER. My question is with the decompression. I've read that the OS/programs on the ROM need to be decompressed before they are run.
Does the page pool help to alleviate this by having a certain amount of RAM set aside with already decompressed program code, allowing programs to load faster?
