I guess if there's no indication in the manual,
the thing to do would be to compile a couple examples
down to ASM and see if different instructions are used.
As far as I know there are no internal mem access wait-states.

"F-BOX
It can live in either RAM (faster access) or program memory (save ram, but slower access). The type CRYPTO_TABLE_TYPE, defined in crypto.h defines where we drop the table and how we access it. This is necessary to compile for the PC target since it doesn't support tables in program memory the same way.
static const CRYPTO_TABLE_TYPE SJ_F[] = {...}"

The comment seems to imply that there is a performance difference between reads from ROM/RAM but I cant find any other info than this.

Help is welcome

    A quick review of the ATMEGA manual reveals...nothing...
    I suspect that access times are the same, for reads anyway,
    on both internal memories because instructions seem to take
    the same number of clock cycles. More manual study would
    be indicated however...
