I never use FastMemFirst, for one good reason:
I have 512K (how do you call it) "special" memory at $C00000 and 2M fast memory
at $200000. I use 512 buffers for the HD and start quite a lot of programs at
boot-up, like AmyCron etc.
So after boot-up the $C00000 RAM is completely occupied but I still have nearly
2M of *CONTIGUOUS* RAM. If I did call FastMemFirst, all those boot-up
processes would eat up my $200000 memory and while I still had about 2M fast
mem, it would be in one 512K and one 1.5M block
