[erlang-questions] Read-only binary: does it stay in the same memory location?

Hi guys

Suppose I’ve a big binary (35MB) in the state of my gen_server process X.

This binary is never shared with any other process, it’s never updated, and
stays there for lifetime of process X.

Question: internally, may the VM moves this binary around to different
memory locations if needed? Or not because this binary is never
shared/updated ?
