CC1310: Using cache as GPRAM

Part Number: CC1310

Team,

are there any drawbacks from using the 8kByte caches as general purpose RAM?

I am aware that execution is slower and current consumption is higher. 
Are there any other reasons why this should or should not be done?

Thanks!

    franziskus,

    And sleep current will increase:

    From the datasheet:

    The SRAM (static RAM) is split into two 4-KB blocks and two 6-KB blocks and can be used to store data and execute code. Retention of the RAM contents in standby mode can be enabled or disabled individually for each block to minimize power consumption. In addition, if flash cache is disabled, the 8-KB cache can be used as general-purpose RAM.

    Regards,
