The exception is when you are editing it..! Unless I've been compiling all these years for no reason...:) Code must actually be compiled into a binary and called in one way or another to be loaded into ram. If you mean compiled, unused code can be loaded into ram, that is correct, but there is nothing the user can do about that - it's a function of the application: not all compiled code gets ran at a given time, because perhaps not all functions are being utilized at any given moment - depends on the program.
