Suspected that might be the case. SRAM really uses tiny amounts of power. Still, can't help thinking of unnecessary "optimizations".
Also, not sure if running them on a 1V Vreg would save much power even if the chips used more current. Since simple Vregs lower the voltage in part by dissipating power resistively to get to a lower voltage, switching from 3.3V to 1V might just move the power consumption from the SRAM chips to the 1V voltage regulator.
