A cached table will be loaded into the 'most frequently accesses data' end of the SGA data buffers upon the first time that a FULL TABLE SCAN is done on the table. This is not a guarantee that the data will stay in the buffers forever, but significantly improves its chances of being there when you need it. typically the small reference tables are frequently accessed so would tend to stay in memory once loaded by the table scan.
