I refer you to the runtime code:

>long if fn FBAutoXrefUseTempMem
>theHndl& = fn TempNewHandle(OldSize&,err)
>if err=0 then def blockfill([theHndl&],OldSize&,0)
>address&.AutoXREFHndl& = theHndl&
>xelse
>address&.AutoXREFHndl& = fn newhandleclear(OldSize&)
>end if

i.e., System Ram from the Get Go.
