For a scene, it's VRAM. But keeping scenes in VRAM is really only necessary if your Playlist transitions aren't smooth. Mainly it depends on the complexity of your scenes.

For the JpegFolder module specifically, it's normal RAM. Loading all the images into RAM ahead of time results in faster real-time performance versus loading them from disk one-by-one, especially if your disk is slow (i.e., not an SSD).

The two things aren't really related except that they improve speed at the cost of using more memory. :)
