So, forgive my ignorance, and thank you for your patience. If the slot memory was allocated already, but now I am just leveraging it, how is that not a gain in RAM (usable) when running iGO8?

I thought XIP is a method of executing programs directly from long term storage rather than copying it into RAM and was an extension of using shared memory to reduce the total amount of memory required.
