There is, unless you have Fast-Ram. Most 500 users (here in Europe at least) haven't, because they bought the cheap $C00000-Expansions that fit into the internal 500 slot. With heavy load on the chip bus, chip ram access is slowed, which also applies to $c00000-type RAM. However, ROM access is NOT slowed under these circumstances, so it is faster.
